I’d love to see flowable silicone in the shop. Right now, that what’s keeping me from buying my next yoyo from here, as I want to buy everything at the same time because of expensive shipping. ---

I’m sure you have an auto parts store or even a Walmart somewhere near you, even in another country. Either of those should have flowable silicone. It’s used for windshield repair. ---

Hmmm. Maybe search around the Internet a bit for a shop that’d ship to you. Whats an auto shop near you? ---

It’s used for windshield repair. but apetrunk, thats the point. thats like saying “I’m sure you have a bearing company near you, they would sell yoyo bearings”. Its all about convenience. It’s a yoyo website, its meant to sell items that you probably can get at a store near you, but they sell them on a website for convenience. :wink: ---

Yes, but I’m pretty sure auto parts stores are a lot more common than yoyo stores. Heck even bearings in the right size probably aren’t super easy to find. ---

If what he’s looking for could be found in an auto parts store for cheaper, probably. > [@jetboy](#): > > > [@Apetrunk](#): > > > > Yes, but I’m pretty sure auto parts stores are a lot more common than yoyo stores.

You can find it Jetboy, it’s just about getting up and looking for it, and not just wanting to buy everything from a one-stop yoyo shop on the internet ---

Well, this is a great discussion. We just have to be civil about it and defend our sides. What if you have no yoyo store nearby? You could order online, pay the same price, then add shipping, and have to weight 2-3 days for it to come. ---
