Tips
- Do not put Vaseline on your cube as it will dissolve the plastic.
- When solving the cube, try not to move your whole hand as part of the motion. This will make you tired and slower. Instead, try to use your fingers.
- While you are fixing your cube, please place the cube pieces back in order and solve it the correct way!
Warnings
- This will not make your cube skills any better. It will just make the cube move faster.
- This may make your Rubik's cube a little too loose; use less and adjust as needed.
