Rubik's Magnetic Cube prototype: centerpiece

Another ill effect of the Duco Cement is that it instantly murks up the surface of the cube, and as it's impossible to spread the right amount of cement inside the holes, a bit extra was always needed, and then a slow, firm pushing in of the magnet, which would always expell cement up around one or more sides of the magnet, which then had to be wiped off, which like alien acid blood, always injured the face of the cubes. It really did weld the magnets in place in just a few seconds, though, keeping them in even when their polarities were matched, meaning when their like-polarities kept them pushing outward from each other.
