Personally, instead of constantly changing my string, I just wash it in cold water with some soap and let it soak for like a half hour. It dries then works good as new.

I do that sometimes too! Mark Montgomery has this thing where he puts his strings in his pants Pockets before he throws them in the washer. That way you get them both cleaned and dried with minimal effort

1.3-4 years ago I painted my yo-yo with which my house was painted to hide the dings. I mean I literally painted the sides of the yo-yo to hide dings.
2. I have added hair oil in my ball-bearing of the yo-yo when I was 13 year old.
3.i have used wheat flour to make the yo-yo pads. I thought it would make the yo-yo bind.

So this are some of the weird things which I did.

I am scared every time I throw because I don’t want wear out my string. My parents buy me that cheap-o polyester string from Amazon and it wears out in 3 minutes.
