What king of oil/lubrication is best when oiling a rubiks cube?
The best is used by the pros. We call it silicone. You can get the spray at an auto place for under $5. Here is a video on how to lubricate your cube. Go on youtube and just search it and you will see tons of videos. WD40 is very risky and can damage your cube. I learned it the hard way. Engine oil will also not work. The pros also use protroleam jelly, but that is also very risky, and it could damage the cube. I used something called “lubricating gel” It works beautifully and you can get it at some kind of salon place, because it is used to lubricate those hair cutting things when they get stuck. When you first buy your cube, play with it for a while untiil it getse a bit smoother. This will take maybe the first 100 solves. To speed up this process, you can sand it but don’t do it too much. Then, you break the cube open by putting a flat object under one of the edge cubes and prying it out. From then on, it is easy to take the rest out. Then lay it out maybe on 3 to 4 layers of newspa
