What can I use for response in an Icon? YYE has no more spin silicone replacement pads and I need to replace the pads in this bad boy. ---

My database doesn’t show this as being a model that is known to be compatible with flowable silicone. I’d contact YoYoExpert drectly for a suitable replacement, if one is available. ---

You can use the Duncan 12 mm silicone pad and trim it down. ---

Definitely to shallow to accept flowable. I’d rather not have to trim down pads. I’ll ask yye or check somewhere else. ---

you can try to email hspin directly. I know they are out of business but maybe they have some laying around. and the NVx accepted gasket maker when I tried it so I say try using that, but it doesn’t hold long. ---

You might also see if a modder might be interested in deepening the silicone recess to a suitable depth. I have an H-spin coming in soon that is questionable and if it won’t hold flowable, it’s gonna go to a modder. ---

.555 pads are too big.
