Hey, welcome to the forum to you and Judah. Many of us use this silicone called Permatex Ultra grey, there is also a transparent version of it but it is much more grippy but easier to apply (not that the grey is hard honesty). I think you can let Judah try them both (they not expensive) and then decide which one to use. I prefer the grey, it is much more slippy and permit more layers of string around the bearing without have the response system “bite” on the string too hard, the transparent (still from Permatex) is much more aggressive and responsive. > [@Permatex 22074 Ultra Grey for very unresponsive return system](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/permatex-22074-ultra-grey-for-very-unresponsive-return-system/374904): > > Hello everyone, First of all thanks to @mable to introduce me to this silicone (which also has better pictures), second sorry for my awful pictures and application I did not used silicone from ages.
