I sanded it off. Just did it all by hand. My neurodivergence enjoys small detailed sanding jobs though. It probably took an hour or two to get it where I liked it. ---

I tried a magic eraser too. I donā€™t know if I just had a bunk brand or what, but it wouldnā€™t touch the logo on mine. I tried scrubbing hard too. ---

I tried taking it up to 500 grit and that was still too sticky for tape measures. It definitely looked a little nicer but I took it back to 220. ---

Wait what. Are you sanding more than just the caps? How is sanding affecting the ability to tape measure, Iā€™m confused how a finer grit paper would be less able to tape measure?!?! I guess Iā€™ll have to just experiment myselfā€¦this is the exact opposite result as Iā€™d expect. ---

The local Target had quite a few of the new Butterfly colors today. Unfortunately, none of them had the Snoopy theme. As usual, they were very inexpensive. I had to show restraint, my wife was looking at me sideways. ā˜¹ ---

Sanded everything but the gap. Not sure the science behind it all. Also, it still jumps a little if your hands are sweaty, but not as much as the glossy finish. I imagine itā€™s a similar concept to better grinds with blasted finish opposed to glossy finish. ---

I wonder if it works similarly to the circumferential grooves on a tire or the outsole of a shoe. ---

Interesting, Iā€™ll have to give this a try on some of mine; I used to get alot of joy sanding my Rubikā€™s cube internals way before hardware quality improved a ton in the last 15years. I wonder what grits I have on handā€¦Nothing like experimentin! ---

Every time I manage to make the hike to Target (there isnā€™t one real close so we always have to kind of plan the trip ahead) theyā€™re sold out of whatever I go there for so I was pleasantly surprised to find these happy little friends in the bargain bins. :heart: I was hoping for one of each colour but 3/4 isnā€™t too bad I suppose. Iā€™ve also been looking for that elusive pink Imperial for awhile too, so I guess its a fair trade šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø ![1000020353](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/f/f/1/ff1618511762540fabc144ca11e8fbade7333146.jpeg) ---

itā€™s a balancing act. from a physics perspective you have to give it enough texture to reduce fiction between two very smooth surfaces (i.e. your hand and a glossy yoyo) but not so textured that it becomes rough and starts increasing friction again. thereā€™s a sweet spot ---

Iā€™m just surprised that sanding with grits in the hundreds results in less friction than a stock glossy finish. Alas this is all intuition so I just need to go try it out and compare for myself. ---

Such a humble but iconic toy that was never particularly special, but still was always available to be played to its limits and sparked interest for generations. This was what 5 to 10 year old me knew was a good yoyo and imperials and butterflyā€™s have always been there since the beginning. I like to tinker and I was never a modder in the late 90ā€™s to mid 2000ā€™s when i was really inā€¦ This thread has a pretty detailed walkthrough on disassembling a Butterfly. ---

for the cap removal part i found it easier for me to put a small bit of insulating tape on the tip of a phillips screwdriver and i just held the half in my hand and gave the screwdriver a tap with a rubber mallet. popped right out ---

Showed up for a play outing with my son and found out that one of his friendsā€™ older brother is into yo-yos. He was playing an old no name wood one that wasnā€™t sleeping and also apparently has an unresponsive one but itā€™s too hard for him.
