Alternatives for lube

Hı, Iam a beginner from turkey and recently ordered a yoyo, extra strings, and lube. But lube came broken and it was spilled everywhere. So do I need lube. Because Iam in Turkey and if I order something it costs 30 dolars shipping. The yoyo that I got is Silenus.

I hope this helps. Search this forum. Lots of people have great alternatives if you cannot purchase yoyo lube.

Thanks

Oh. Just remember, whatever you try only use a TINY TINY TINY TINY amount. If your yoyo is brand new you probably won’t need lube for a long time. Yoyo bearings do not need constant maintenance and adding too much lube can make it responsive.

Do liquid fishing rod maintanence oils work. It is for bearings but I don’t know if they are thin or thick.

Why do you think the bearing is in need of lube? It should work but don’t just squirt a bunch in. An extremely tiny spec of it will work.

It doesn’t need now but It will need. Sometime

That seems right, it’s also a small bearing. As said, apply from the head of a pin or toothpick. You need so little.
