Yes - You can do several different things. What I like to do to set up my DM is this:
Silicone, 1 Red and One White Shim, and a KonKave bearing. Its not much, but it makes one heck of a player! You can also shave your O-Ring if you wish to flush.
Some people do shave off their starburst, but I dont really recommend it. If you decide you want your starburst for some reason, there is no going back. I think the most effective thing to do, is to simply break in the bearing :wink:
Have Fun Throwing,

Okay - It was a bad idea to leave the bearing on. You can clean it, but it might be hard to get it all out. Good luck.
Also, make sure you let it sit for a good 24 hours at least.

Silicone isn’t like water, it won’t just flow out. If you didn’t put enough, you can refill later, but I like to have mine about half a millimeter under, it’s unresponsive that way. And don’t sand the starburst. Unless you’re rich. Or have a really good reason. You have no idea how it will come up. It might have loose binds, no binds, rip the string.etc

try using some none acetonic (if its a bi-metal/has metal rims) metal polish,
just polish the metal part until desired shineness :wink:

Or rub it with baking soda with a wet tissue.
