I sandblasted my Styy Bandit years ago like a dummy, so I started from a very rough surface. Ate string like mad. Tossed a bolt into the axle hole and spun it on a drill. Started with 150 grit and stepped up to 3000 grit and hit it with never-dull. I’m quite surprised but very happy with how it came out!

Blasting that yo-yo is the dumbest thing you ever did.

Polishing that yo-yo is the smartest thing you ever tried.

You have now successfully righted a wrong and are officially dead even.

I knew you could do it.

Good job!

Decided i didn’t like the lame text engravings on the side of the N8 so i polished that too. Very stoked on the results!
