So, I decided to experiment with Shoe Goo response pads in my trustee N12. They shrunk by approximately 50%!!! In the images below, the silicone is fully cured. I haven’t cleaned up any of the excess yet, in case you were wondering. ![IMG_20200329_165912](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/3/1/f/31f22571b16275872fcd69b67602d52436b392e0.jpeg) ![IMG_20200329_165843](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/1/8/0/1801de12a024f604b5eb547c3547d0bfe9bf195e.jpeg) My theory is that perhaps this type of silicone has a high percent of volatile solvent in it, which evaporated during the curing phase. Anyway, I’m just bored and thought you guys might find this interesting. ---

I tried duct tape friction stickers when my Duncan Freehand wore out its stickers, along with window sealant. Both stayed in place but were not sticky enough. ---

I currently have duct tape in my freehand zero, and it kind of works unresponsive, but is still pretty slippery. ---

I already did this, it works alright and works on shallow response like duncan friction responces. ---

That doesn’t work… Unless you store the yoyo in a bag shaped like a Toilet. And then… the only trick you can do with it is ‘Drop in the Bucket’. ---
