Make sure to clean the groove out before putting in a new pad. A toothpick or something like that will help get all any excess sticky residue out. Then I normally twist up the corner of a paper towel and do a few swipes to make sure it’s dry and clean so the new pad will stick properly. ---

Flowable works well too, but you have to wait a good deal of time for it to dry. I always choose pads just for the quick replacement, and $2 isn’t bad considering how long they last IMO. ---

That one doesn’t say “flowable” so it may be a little more difficult to work with and even out, but can’t hurt to try. ---

It should. Just make sure you clean the area well before you apply it. Also make sure you let it dry **completely** prior to stringing it up, or you will need a new string, and potentially a new bearing. ---

The one we sell/use is the same brand, but labeled “flowable” for window/glass. They probably sell it at the hardware store as well if you have trouble with this one. ---

I agree, anything bought from anywhere but YYE is garbage. It just wont work, period. Nothing bought from anywhere, ever. String, bearings, tenis shoes, Egg McMuffins… Heck, I bought my last car from YYE! Buy from them. _This was not a paid advertisement, I am in no way liable for any undercooked McMuffins served by YYE_ Hrmmm… Now I kinda want a McMuffin. ---
