So my mighty fleas pads are all worn down, and it would cost me over $12 to replace them. Is it realistic to be able to use flow silicone to give my mighty flea new pads?

Thanks!

You’re gonna need some flea pads. That silicone groove is way too shallow for silicone to stick.

I wonder if it’s the same for the Little Evil 2? The pads in it just slightly stick out over the groove, and it sometimes drags on the string on zipper type movements.

It would seem like it’s too shallow for flowable, but it isn’t.

Flowable can work in the Flea. I’ve used flowable in mine and it is working really well. You need to make sure the groove is clean and do a really neat job of it.

The flowable should outlive the standard pads by miles.

That gives me confidence for the Little Evil 2. I bought some Monkey Snot to try with it, but then started to wonder about that very issue. Of course now it seems as if the pads have broken in a little, and it’s less of a problem… :-\
