Cubicle Silicone Weight 4 Lube

Cubicle Silicone Weight 4 Lube

A thick silicone lube from Cubicle, designed mainly for the core and metal parts of your cube. Cubicle Silicone Weight 4 Lube is part of a series of silicone-based lubes, also known as Lubicle Weight. In this series, the number indicates the viscosity on a scale from 1 to 5. Weight 1 is the thinnest and Weight 5 is the thickest. Weight 4 is the second thickest lube in the series, so it noticeably slows the cube down.

What to use Weight 4 for

It is most often applied to the core, meaning the screws, springs and other metal parts. Because it's thick, it doesn't run and stays where you put it. Users also report that it does a good job of dampening spring noise.

You can also apply Weight 4 to the pieces of the cube, but keep in mind that it will slow it down considerably. This is useful when the cube is too fast for you, overshoots during fast turning or you lack control. A thin layer is enough. Right after application, the cube may feel noticeably slower. After a few solves, the lube spreads out and the turning becomes smoother. According to customer reviews, Weight 4 feels slightly less "gummy" than Weight 5.

Which viscosity should you choose?

• Weight 1 and 2 are thin lubes. They remove the dry feeling and give a smoother feel while slowing the cube down only slightly.
• Weight 3 is the middle of the scale, with a moderate viscosity.
• Weight 4 noticeably slows down and smooths out turning. It works well on the core and metal parts.
• Weight 5 is the thickest lube in the series and slows the cube down the most.

There is no single right viscosity. The choice depends on the feel you like and what you want to lube.

Who is it for?

For people who lube their own cubes and want a separate lube for the core and metal parts. It's also handy when your cube is too fast or too loose and you want to calm it down. If you want to speed your cube up or just get rid of dryness, Weight 1 or 2 is a better choice. The lube is safe to touch, but must not be swallowed.
