i have found the best way to do thumb grinds with metal rimmed or metals yoyo’s all you need is some thin lube. Throw a hard sleeper then take the loob and squirt some inside the metal rims and use a tissue or something to clean a little bit of it up, then wela! try thumb grindin it works! try it. ---

Lol make sure that you are ready to get your yoyo and hands oily 😛 I think Vaseline should work well too. Imho, you shouldn’t spin it while applying the lube, the stuff will be squirting out randomly into your eyes and stuff. ---
