Anyone know what pads the Gung Fu will accept? Mine just cant seem to hold flowable silicone for more than a few hours. I know its not me, I’ve been siliconing stuff for years now and never had a problem. ---

I know its not me, I’ve been siliconing stuff for years now and never had a problem. I’m guessing the pad recess is less than 1mm deep. That sucks.

I have a pair of pads that I marked “turning point” on the baggie. I can’t remember if they are K pads or something else made by turning point. I just checked them against my Gung and they definitely will fit. I’d take a shot at a pair of these: > **[Yo-Yo Response](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/collections/yo-yo-response)** ---

Which size you reckon I should go for? 888 or 19mm? I wouldn’t think its a broad pad. Doesn’t look the type. ---

I think you are gonna have to measure the outer diameter of the recess on your gung. I don’t know where a ruler is right now or I’d do it for you. 🙂 ---

the gen 1 gung-fu takes o-rings. if the other generations are the same but shallower, then any o-ring size pad would work. ---
