I was wondering if it would be possible to use flowable on my Pacquiao . It takes thin .555 pads, and after some searching, I can’t find a thread about this.

You can but I hear that they don’t hold sili well. (But that could be the people are bad at siliconing.)
I say it’s worth a shot just make sure the recess is real clean and you make sure you haven’t got any air bubbles.
Let me know how it goes if you do it.

I had better luck than I thought I would with the Royale, which has a pretty shallow response area. I was using Monkeyfinger snot, which applies like flowable even though it’s different once dry.

I went ahead and sili’ed it. Used a little mineral spirits to clean the glue from the pads (they were mismatched, didn’t fit right and ugly - got it in a trade), dried it well and I used loctite silicone for the job. scraped it level with a plastic gift card. I’ll post how it comes out in about two days of play or sooner if its bunk. Thanks for the advice.
