Do you mean came unglued? I know Glen went through a lot of different glues in the beginning trying to find something that wouldn’t fail. He can answer, but pretty sure he ended up with epoxy as the choice. I think the larger axle also helps. I seem to have had good luck with Maximum Bond Krazy Clue, and Gorilla Glue’s version of CA. ---

He can answer, but pretty sure he ended up with epoxy as the choice. I was using the absolute best wood glue I could source and tried all sorts of methods to get them to stay together. Most did, but many fell apart unfortunately. I now only use epoxy and have not heard any complaints of them coming apart since. ---

> [@Myk\_Myk](#): > > I know durability was one reason @anon5341354 went to the larger axle. This probably wouldn’t have happened if this had one. However, I just like the way these play better. Yeah that’s a pretty early model Harbinger you have there. Those had a 1/4" walnut axle. The 1/4" axle paired with the largish diameter gave that model a pretty long spin time. I later went with the 8mm diameter axles to increase the durability so that kids wouldn’t break them as easily, but also, it helped make response more reliable. The new Harbinger I posted a little while ago with the 63mm diameter still has an 8mm axle and it has even more spin time than the earlier 1/4" axle Harbingers. ![20210131_084525](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/9/5/c/95c0c5220e4bdcb79d4a9f72c4ef88c6ae89b8ec.jpeg) ---

It’s made of oregon. It’s usually used in construction. It’s quite difficult to work with on a fine detail level because it splinters so much. ---
