I used a spoon to make a recess, because the SG stickers’ surface were somewhat recessed.

How long does it take to break in flowable? I’ve played the Raptor for a few hours now.

There is no way to remove silicone from a bearing. Unless it’s small pieces. then use compressed air and blow it out.

Long soaks in a good solvent would be the only way to get it out. That and trying to force the bearing to spin.
