You would have to create a recess, or a groove where the stickers go. Then simply put an O-Ring inside the groove depending on the size. ---

I would honestly just send it out to someone to do it. there are some really good modders out there…and they usually do it for a cheap price…or you can find new modders and have them do it for free…they usually like fodder lol… I dont mod my yo-yos out of fear and knowing i’ll ruin them HAHA! ~Yin ---

Mosquitoes do have caps. Newer ones just have screws which you can just unscrew to get the cap off, while for older ones you will need to pry it off, I believe. ---

As others have mentioned above, it is actually better to give this task over to good modders. if not, you would have to scrape that groove out manually. This often results in an uneven groove or it’s to deep or to shallow. Either way, you might get a bad result from doing this for yourselves without a drill or dremel. Good modders will give you a perfect result for a minor/no cost. ---
