Hi all, So yeah…after playing about a year with my bassline the silicone response is wearing out and won’t give me any good binds anymore. They’re really slippy (and I KNOW how to bind properly). Since I don’t know how to silicone and don’t want to do it either, I was thinking of replacing it with silicone pads. But I can’t find what silicone pads the bassline will take (googled for 'bout 2 hours). Will they take General Yo Hat Pads thick/thin? I hope someone has the answer to this. Thanks in advance 😃 ---

Really, silicone is not hard at all. If you have a auto parts store anywhere near you you can find about every kind there. clear flowable is the easiest to apply. Just put a little in the groove and let it flow. Add as much as you need. Then wait twelve hours and PRESTO!!! a yoyo with clear silicone response that lasts for months. ---

Flowable generally recommends waiting 24 hours of all the types I’ve seen. Mayne of the other RTV’s have shorter cure times(anywhere from 3-6 hours in some cases) ---

As I clearly stated. I don’t want to mess up the response in my yoyo. My question was: do general yo hat pads thick/thin fit? Thanks for the answers though 😃 ---

Contact Landon (yoking) about it. I think I heard that they could, but I’m not sure. It would make sense though because Landon has done a collab with Ernie. ---

Thick (red) hat pads will work, so will OneDrop silicone stickers. Or re-silione it- Stock it uses Permatex clear RTV silicone, originally made for gluing in automobile windshields. Good luck! ---
