It shouldn’t, just make sure the string that is touching the bearing is dry (Not damp with ink) when you use it.

I reccommend a Highliter or some Dye, though.

No, it won’t damage the bearing, but there might be marks… think sharpie smears and such on it.

haha I think regular dye would ruin the ruin the consistency of the string. I don’t know about highlighter though…
