fady, does any store near you sell this?: ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/4/1/b/41b929f91510c03653df59e07ffefe5fddebe7d9.jpeg) It’s used for sealing stuff but also makes an excellent response if the sticker recesses are deep enough. ---

In the US it’s sold at automotive parts stores. Can you post a picture of the sticker recess? We’d probably be able to tell if it’s deep enough from a pic. ---

Unfortunately, that looks too shallow for silicone. You can do a search “homemade friction stickers” and find some info on how to make them yourself. Otherwise, looks like you’ll need to purchase some. ---

You could always get some flowable silicone and try it. If it comes out really quickly, it’s too shallow, but it’s worth a try. People have said yoyos that use k-pads are too shallow for silicone, but they’re wrong.
