Is there any fabric that can be harmful to my plastic yoyos? I figured it wouldn’t but I wanted to make sure. ---

Off the top of my head, I can’t think of any fabrics that would be harmful to plastics or metals. I think maybe if the forum knew what your intended purpose is, it might be a little more useful in order to better answer your question ---

You’ll be fine unless you have some glass shard acid covered forever flaming fabric. ---

If you’re going to lay something down, lay some thick felt down and glue it down using a fabric glue. The felt is thick enough to provide some very MINIMAL and basic padding, and it’s often not super slippery. A couple of layers of that should work fine if you’re also carrying the case around. Comes in many colors at many retailers, including Wal-Mart. Not too expensive either. ---

Okay that’s a good idea I have some felt and fabric remnants.
