Yup, after doing some digging I learned that to be the general consensus. Some claimed that regular flowable needs to be reapplied way more frequently than response pads, while a few others stated that red gasket maker lasts far longer.

That’s why I wanted to get both to see which one I preferred. If you played with a siliconed yoyo for about an hour a day, how long would regular silicone last with that level of play, as opposed to one with red gasket maker installed, with a standard response pad as a control? (Purely a mind experiment for estimates, I do not expect anyone to have actually done this)

unfortunately i didnt go through an experimental phase with doing my own. i tried gear oil and liked it and stuck with it. i will say, though, that i play most of mine most days and for a while each day and ive not had to reapply any yet. you can expect months to a year at least without having to worry about response
