This would give you a few minutes of realy high speed cubing. I concur with Marius. I used to practice solving underwater in my swimming pool, back when I averaged 33 seconds! I would use a cube with just a small amount of vaseline. After taking the cube out and letting it dry a couple hours, it would turn VERY WELL. Also, the deleterious effect on the plastic seems to be negligible, as I still have those same cubes and they still operate smoothly some 15+ years later.
