I have a clear FHZ that I bought for 15 dollars from a friend at school. It is the worst kinda beat I have ever seen. I wanna know how to remove dings from it. Tyler49 whatever said you could use a nail filer, so does this work? Also, I wanna paint it, pad recess preferably but sili I think is easier, and satin it. What tools will I need? What power grit sandpaper will I need to satin it? I am also a first time FHZ modder. Please help! ---

That’s about the best you can do w/dings. Filing the whole thing smooth will probably make the yoyo unbalanced, so just trim the edges. If they are only scuffs instead of gouges, just use sandpaper as noted below. Satin work - 300 grit wet/dry paper. ---

What tools should I use though to pad/sili recess? And are there any good vids on how to paint a FHZ? ---

> [@arussell19981201](#): > > But I still do not understand how to sili recess it. ??? There are soooooo many videos about sili recessing. Tools:plastic spoon, pliers, knife, silicone with nozzle or syringe, 2 hands, and recessed yoyo. Step 1: remove response with a knife or pliers Step 2: put in silicone with small squeezes creating beads all around your yoyo above the line. Step 3: Use spoon to remove excess silicone so it looks like a germ could use it as a half pipe. Step 4: Wipe off spilled silicone with paper towel or something and let dry. Step 6: se how responsive it is. If too much then use knife to cut some away. This will leave it jagged but will smoothen out after use. ---

YoyoMango, that is a guide for putting silicone in a yo-yo. Silicone recessing involves cutting a recess into the yo-yo to hold silicone. ---

It implies that I posted a solution, and now I’m saying it’s one of the better ones around. :wink: Boasting so to speak. :🙂
