After experiencing the detrimental effects of humidity at a yoyo meet yesterday it’s gotten me quite paranoid.
Ever since yesterday outside (approx 65% humidity), every yoyo that I used has had serious issues with snagging. I swapped the string out on one and it fixed it, but the others I haven’t had such luck. I can’t remove this snaggy feel from the free-solo after cleaning the body, the bearing, replacing response pads and replacing the string.
Besides that, after doing some research it’s gotten me quite paranoid about my yoyo storage solution.
Sydney has a quite humid climate during the summer and I leave all my yoyos with strings on them in a g2 fov case in a room where I frequently open the window. I’ve heard the string can accumulate moisture and rust and ruin the bearing.
Should I worry about this and remove the strings from all my collector’s yoyos in storage? Or is it generally okay in the case?
What effects have you guys experienced from yoyoing and yoyo storage in humid climates?
