This lube is very good when you use it right, make sure you only put it on the tracks and not in the pieces because that will make it really slow and in a similar vein when lubing be sure you have DNM 37 to make your cube fast enough because this is a high viscosity lube and putting it into the pieces like I did on my GAN 11 M duo made it weird in 3 ways : 1, the cube still felt lite but not fast witch brings to my 2nd point. 2, it makes the cube unimaginably slow and hard to practice for long amounts of time & 3, the magnets are really really really strong witch defeats the point of it being a GAN cube. So I’d recommend this to someone who averages about 16-17 seconds because you should know how to lube and yes applying sticks are giving so this is good but not the best and if you want a more medium speed lube I recommend mystic and weight 3.
