Does anyone else have problems with Monkey Snot drying out extremely quickly? I know that initially there was purported to be a problem/potential defect with the syringes allowing air into them and causing the dryout. I know we are supposed to rotate the tubes at least every two weeks and I know we’re supposed to store them in an airtight ziploc bag. I have purchased Monkey Snot twice, the dryout has happened both times. My second batch I never took out of its initial ziploc bag, I was careful to turn the bag fairly regularly, honestly a couple times a week. When I went to use the stuff last night all three syringes were completely solid and did not work at all. I rarely state that I’m unimpressed and I don’t like to complain, the Monkeyfinger guys are great and their throws are awesome, I’m not asking for/wanting a refund. I ended up just using clear flowable anyway which obviously works great. I am simply curious if anyone else has experienced this problem recently because for me it is definitely a recurring problem with the product. Thanks. ---

Happened on my first lot of three syringes, contacted MFD, they sent me three more, and they dried out again. Not buying that ever again. ---

It’s a Great !! product if you are actually lucky enough to get a chance to use it. it flows really nicely & binds much better than any other flowable silicone I have used. Not to mention that it adds a bit to your YoYo’s cosmetics being a shaded silicone. The lesson I have learned is not to order it until I’m actually ready to use it. I know after being burned twice that whatever is left over will more than likely dry up. ---

Same here. I ordered a pack, they dried out. I ordered another one, it came dried out. I thinks that’s it great response, it’s just seems to have some problems. ---

I know after being burned twice that whatever is left over will more than likely dry up. Well, I guess I’ll just chuck my 3 untouched tubes into the trash then. I buy ahead so I have stuff already on hand and available when I need it. I’m not about to be stuck on someone else’s schedule. Personally, colored flowable does nothing to me. I’m fine with clear. ---

Hey guys - it definitely shouldn’t have dried out and to anyone that experienced a problem we are really sorry about that and won’t just leave you hanging… MonkeyFinger actually stopped production to completely resolve this problem once we had a few reports of it happening even once… I am checking in with them now to see how to handle it (as their new supply should be ready soon and should not have this problem) - We will be in touch! - André ---

I think the issue probably comes from a flat in preparing the product to go into the tubes, and then perhaps the tubes themselves. I haven’t tossed mine in the trash yet. But I also don’t have any yoyos that need to be siliconed at the moment. ---
