No, it won’t fit. Silicone pads are too wide, unless you are talking K-pads. You want silicone o-rings.

silicone orings or put flowable silcone or rtv in the oring recess yourself. Ive had rtv in my dm for like 8 months now and its still good as the day I put it in.

So just to make sure a dm will fit these [YoYoJam – YoYoExpert](http://shop.yoyoexpert.com/product/56/YYJ-Silicone) ? And if it will, will it give the same type of unresponsive play as it would if you put flowable sillicon in it?
