I like the shiny better. Although the blasted almost has a patina. I don’t know, the blasted is growing on me. Looks beat, plays perfect is sort of cool. ---

Just make sure you’re following proper procedure if you’re trying to chemical strip a yo-yo. You’ll want to check with your parents first and take safety precautions. Proper ventilation, gloves, eye protection etc. ---

I’m also looking at stripping a throw, and I’m probably going to try a hot water bath with baking soda. It’s supposed to work well, it just takes longer than more caustic solutions, but seems somewhat safer to me. Not a suggestion, really, since I haven’t tried it yet, but just another option. ---

Similar choice to yours: MYY V4. I really like the throw, esp. for the price, but kinda hate the color. ---
