I was practicing fingerspins with my Flashback, and noticed I had blue marks all over my fingernail.
I check both sides of the yoyo, and it turns out, somehow, my mail was scratching off the paint.
Has anyone experienced this?
Is there anything to do to keep more paint from chipping off?
This is quite common issue with polished annodization on 7075 aluminum. It is not about how yoyo is manufactered, it is mostly relied on annodized method. Same issue happen with YYR series back then, I got that with Sleipnir and 2012 44Clash
I’ll sometimes wipe a yoyo down with rubbing alcohol and very occasionally a yo-yo’s dye does come off. It’s rare though from my experience. Most ano’d yos seem to hold their color completely. There was a thread here about this issue a year or two ago and someone suggested boiling in distilled water to re-seal the anno (or something like that - memory isn’t great).
