If can be all day fixed axle everyday if you want it… Otherwise you can just check in on Fridays. Or anywhere in between. ---

Runs great out of the package (2023 copyright), threw my normal poly string on it, added a pinch of tension and voila! ---

Bit o’ beeswax/chapstick on the end of the string can help a lot too. Also, I’ve opened and played like 30 butterflies in the last 3 years and only maybe 5 are perfect out of the package. The rest either need some help or are just straight up string cutters. ---

Thank you for the tips. The beeswax has made it better. However, the string looks pretty worn out, I’ll probably take the butterfly apart and polish the axle. ---

@Slestak75 suggested a good way to polish butterfly axles. I’m having trouble finding it but something about an old string and baking soda, I think? I’m pretty sure you don’t even have to take it apart. Maybe he’ll chime in here. ---

That’s about it. Here is a drawing of how you want to wrap the string around the axle. Pull the ends back and forth to scrub the axle with the wet baking soda impregnated string. After it dries come back and do the same thing with a dry/clean section of string to polish and clean it up. 😁:+1: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/9/e/a9e9eb169fb119cda02fb9ba2cfc1e4488b96dd0.jpeg) ---
