How long are your responses lasting?

After reading everybody’s posts I think I must be doing something wrong. My Red sillicone only lasts about 2 weeks in my Dietz.

I’d recommend grabbing a set of flow groove pads for the deitz, they’re I think 3$ for 2 sets and you just pull out the old and pop in the new (clearing any remnants of the red silicone). They last forever and depending on the red silicone you’re using, give more precise binds. If the red you’re getting is in the states it’s probably the type for engine work, which I’ve personally found to wear quickly and not to have a proper feel.

Great, thanks! I’ll definitely grab several sets of those, as the silicone is starting to get on my nerves.

Really depends on the yoyo, ones that are harder to get spinning will ware down the response faster, also depends on your throw and bind, if you bind with a lot of rpms on a yoyo still it will ware the response out way faster. If you throw really hard every time it will also ware down the response faster.
For me flowable last’s about 6 to 8 weeks if it is the only yoyo I use.
Duncan silicone pads last me close to if not more then a year if its the only yoyo I use.

I’m trying to stick to flow groove compatible yoyos for that very reason now. Are there any other yoyos besides One Drop that use Flow Grooves? And are flow grooves and Snow Tires the same size?

Hi. The snow tires aren’t the same size as the flow groove. The new toxic hazmat uses the flow groove, that’s the only one other than the current one drops I know use the flow groove, maybe anti-yo but I’m not certain.

I have been using a newer silicone called “The Right Stuff” by Permatex. It comes in a pressurized can, fully cures in about six hours instead of twenty-four, and lasts longer than flowable. In my Raptor, flowable lasted about two weeks and “TRS” lastes about two months. Because it’s in a pressurized can, it also fills the sili grooves much better than regular RTV. I think I’m going to write a review up tomorrow.

i dont believe that at all, can you give us proof and play like a hour a day each day and see how worn down they get

I don’t have anything in need of silicone right now. However, I did sili my Raptor a week or so before Christmas using this stuff:

If you don’t believe it, try it yourself.
