i recently found a yoyo that i lost and it was kinda scrached up  
so i was thinking i can satin it  
it is a raw yoyo and i only have 150 grit sand paper  
so if i satin it will it be better for grinding and will it hide the scratches?

Not with 150 grit sandpaper. Well, most likely not. It should help hide the scratches though.

You can use150 grit but it is a little too coarse. It will leave the yo-yo rough to the touch. I suggest using no lower than 220 grit.

You could, but the 150 grit is going to leave a rough scratched up finish.
