Response pads

Can I put general yo pads in a genesis? Smooth or textured?

No. They won’t fit unless the Genesis in question isn’t a slim pad version.
And if it isn’t a slim pad, I suggest two smooths, or one textured and one gray.

so what is the longest lasting pad I can put in a genesis?

A rubber one of some kind. Cut both sides of a rubber o-ring down so it’s square-ish and then glue or silicone it into the response area. That would last quite a while most likely.

any thoughts on recreation pads? How long do kpads last?

Probably a very similar amount.

It already uses K-Pads, and they last perfectly long, and a nice long time, and also my favorite response system. I don’t know why you would want to change the response system.

I had the silicone die in my legacy, silicone is messy and hellish and, Ive had to re silicone 3 times because im so impatient…

How does being impatient lead to re-siliconing?

Sillicone @ 3pm
wake up next day @ 10am

@12am “I can’t wait for the silicone to cure…”

@1am “only 2 more hours…”

@1:15am "I CANT STAND IT ANYMORE WHERES MY BACKUP YOYO, NO BACK UP YOYO? SCREW 24 HOURS, IM STARTING EARLY!

@1:20am “I cant believe the silicone fell out…”

Must not be very good at siliconing then. I do it and wait around 10 hours or so before I use it. Never had problems with it coming out.

Unless I do it before I go to bed, I wait three hours, lol

what silicone do you use ???

Either flowable or gasket maker.
