I am trying to identify a compound that could be used to soften a Rubic’s Cube’s plastic to make it turn faster and smoother.


I have read that a number of cubers have used a Boron treatment to accomplish this. Unfortunately Boron is hazardous and I am looking for a safer alternative that would accomplish the same thing.


Thanks!
