OK. Now I don’t feel so bad that I already bricked it 😁 (Still loving this damn throw, BTW!) ---

I never think to try cotton on bearing throws, but after bricking my MR-85 I tossed a Nectar on the Plasm and it’s bliss! ---

Thank you for posting this I ended up using my favorite method to deburr knives and smooth out sharp dings that I learned from another member Bamboo skewer rubbed along the edges then used to smooth any additional rough spots. I was surprised how long some of the burrs were that I easily removed Going to play my plasm hard and see if it still cuts strings, I haven’t touched it since I noticed this issue on mine, so fingers crossed 🤞 ---

It’s been 3ish weeks now and I still find that I reach for my Plasm more than any other yoyo in my collection. The weight, shape and response are just perfect. I wish it could handle just a bit more string at times but I’ve got some 3mm bearings coming to see how that feels. I did get a hold of some 4mm MR85s and it made the throw feel heavy as it unwinds if that makes sense. ---

I was thinking a 3mm with some lube would be pretty nice in the Plasm. Maybe even in the RBC. ---

My exact thoughts. I’ll let you know in a week or so when the bearings show up. ---

The 4mm bearing making it feel heavier on the unwind makes a lot of sense. A 4mm gap with a diameter that large with definietly create that effect. ---

You know I had to try it, and yes it worked wet, floated, and played normal after drying. (It has a nylon bearing blank in it don’t worry) ![IMG_9517](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/e/8/0/e80386a901acdcd4786d1e3b019f19cfa0d4e4b8.jpeg) ---

If that is not firm confirmation of how capable this throw is… I don’t know what would be. Is that still stock? Edit: never mind. I watched again and saw that snappy response at the end. 😃 ---
