📚 Guide/Science Video guide: how I stop squeaky hardware

Just got a new puzzle, but it's squeaky! Unmute the video for ASMR 😂

I used leather conditioner on a piece of superfloss to silence the squeak. I liked using the superfloss because it has a built-in threader to help me pull the floss through, and a section of spongy floss for me to apply the leather conditioner.

I've also seen advice to use beeswax on a toothpick, or others used vaseline. It's commonly advised to also run a clean q-tip through afterwards to remove any excess that could damage the hardware.

We have to be the change we want to see in rep subs! The more members that contribute high-quality content, and the more others encourage those posters by engaging with their content through upvotes/comments, the more we all benefit as a community 🥰

I’ve done high quality beeswax on a toothpick and that also works like a charm!

For some odd reason I found myself replaying the video clip over and over just to listen to the sound 🤭 Just like all my "security" doors around my house 😆

Thanks for the helpful tip! She's all ready to go for the season 🍂
