Thanks,
By the way, about Response Pads for Responsive yo-yo’s…
It’s still not very comprehensive …
Apparently most of “responsive modern” yo-yo’s have the same “thickness” pads than the unresponsive.
19mm “Slim Pads”
(19mm outer diameter, 14mm inner diameter, thickness 1mm)
Some yo-yo’s like the Arrow Elite,
they have Thicker Pads.
I see that they slightly protrude (maybe thickness is 1,5mm ?)
(I don’t want to rip away the perfect fat pads of my Arrow Elite to measure it with a Kaliper, as I do not have extra…)
Because I live in Switzerland, it is very expensive to order these “thicker” response pads in the U.S. for Responsive yo-yo’s (10-12 USD shipping fees !!)
(On Chinese Websites where shipping fees are low, and bulk pads prices low, they only have “Slim Pads”)
So came to me the idea of DIY, but I want consistency.
Creating a non sticky mold of the (14mm x 19mm x 1,5mm) to fill with flowable silicone ?
Or more simply, buy bulk regular Toric Silicon joints, size 14x19x2,5mm,
Then “dig” on the yo-yo inner ring some more “depth space” with my Dremel (around 1mm deeper) ?
So when I glue the Regular Silicon Joint on the yo-yo, it perfectly protrudes by 0,5mm
Or a way to flatten the “Regular Toric Silicon joints from 2,5mm thickness to the correct 1,5 mm thickness ?
Do you have any Idea which is the best, or are there other CONSISTENT methods ?
(I saw vids on how to easy create with flowable silicone , using the credit card on the yo-yo to not make it protrude, so it applies only to Unresponsive .)
(Sometimes I don’t like being “stuck” with overpriced CONSUMABLES (like ink cartridges, etc….)
I know my questions are naive as a beginner, but with ADHD, sometimes I loose the yo-yo pleasure because wanting to find solutions for everything
Kind Regards
