I’m not to fond of the response pads in my Zen 4 and was wondering if any other pads will fit? I don’t want to silicone it. ---

Looked everywhere, cant find out. Try measuring the response area and look at IR PADs or anyone els that sells the pads you favor. Silicone is the best, your missing out. 😢 ---

> [@MYNAMEISZen](#): > > I wear out response pads in a few weeks so I prefer not to silicone so much ^^^ Well, if you get Gasket Masler or adhesive RTV it will last FOREVER!!! Not kidding! Shinwoo might have crappy pads that wear down in a week, but Adhesive Gasket masker last waaaaaay longer, but Flowable silicone only last a week if you throw a lot. ---

Does it have P-PADS in it? Any 19mm pad should work. I prefer Flow Groove for that pad size. ---

Blue RTV flowable silicone is easy to apply and lasts about 4…ever. You can get it at any auto parts store. That is what is in my Shinwoo Zen 2 and I agree that their starburst pads are kinda crappy. ---

That is what is in my Shinwoo Zen 2 and I agree that their starburst pads are kinda crappy. He mentioned that he can wear through them in a week, I completely disagree. Also, it has to be smoothed out and a good job to last long. If it is jagged the string with catch and rip the whole thing out. ---
