I’m thinking about picking up a Henrys Python eventually, I’m not gonna pay $70 for a brand new one, but I may get one used in the future. the yoyo uses Henrys Gecko Pads for response, I was wondering if you could replace them with Flowable Silicone? Thanks. ---

i was under the impression you could use flowable on anything that takes silicone pads, is this not the case? ---

I believe most of the time this it true. However, I have heard people say that flowable can be an issue in Delrin sometimes since it won’t dry and bind to the plastic correctly, though I’ve never tried this myself. ---

Well, I’ve never used flowable silicone myself, I know nothing about it. ---

@Splizacular you can silicone anything with a groove, you’re correct. @Jdrabik delrin has been no issue for me, i’ve siliconed many of them. ---

Will do! Did you see that large classics collection go up? He seems like a nice guy and may work something with you. He stated he mainly just wants to see them get some love, more than looking for money or space. Don’t want to put words in their mouth tho, let me find the link. Edit you were already commenting I even reacted to your comment 😭 🙃 ---
