u dont put it on the bearing because it will completely mess up the bearing the silicone u put it where the response goes and it makes it unresponsive

You put it around the bearing where the silicone pads or friction stickers or w/e should be.

It’s a replacement for other types of response. If you put it in the bearing, clean it immediately and you might be able to save it.

Could be a number of things, post a pic if you have one. Four hours is a bit short, overnight is usually enough. It could also be that you’re siliconing a yoyo that doesn’t have a deep enough groove to hold silicone, or the groove isn’t clean (oily) so the silicone won’t stick.

If the other side is still good, you don’t need to. I do both at once, because if one side went bad, the other is probably due to soon - and I don’t want to have to go through the process two nights in a row.

Ok, Also when my other kentaro pad was still in, the response was fine unresponsive, Will the flakey side affect how tight the binds are cause i like how silicone binds are tight

Could be that “flakiness” is causing problems - if part of it is sticking up, use a sharp xacto knife to slice off the peaks. Hard to tell without actually seeing it though, exactly what you mean by “flakiness”.
