Baby oil will not clean your bearing at all. In fact, it will lube it. If you are soaking your bearing in baby oil it’s hurting more than helping

Mineral spirits will eat away at the plastic of s yoyo. yes. But as long as you’ve got all of it out of the bearing you have nothing to worry about.
And yes I will keep posting new things.

No it will not harm the plastic, at least not polycarb or celcon/delrin, the most common plastics used in yoyos.

How do I get sponsored?
Explain that asking for it is a bad idea
You get it by being active in the community, competing in contest, and making yourself someone that a company would want to have representing them.

“My yoyo just tips over every time in throw it what’s wrong?”
