Polished Dark Magic

Yo-Yo Mods and Maintenance
1

Did yet another polish job for ScottRancourt a while back and just got around to posting it. Now, this DM has had quite the unfortunate life. It literally had the WORST rims I’ve ever seen on a YoyoJam, and now has quite the vibe now that the hub is disconnecting from the rest of the yoyo on one side. Nontheless I decided to help this poor little yoyo in the only way I really could, which was make it feel pretty again 8)

How did you make it and what about the hub?

5

The hub issue is really just an irrelevant deteail about the unfortunate history of this particular yoyo. It has nothing to do with the polish job.

I wish my rims on my DM looked like that! (the fully polished pic).

7

if those were the worst rims ever, you should see my sigma.
Awesome polish job as usual!

8

You ruined my sigma?

The rims were crap in the first place -.-
No, I still have it :slight_smile:

its funny that you mention the hub because it finaly broke after a year of having it and i can take off the whole hub and pop it back in

Can we smash it and salvage the rims?
