I got some custom guts sets from Onedrop in the post for a collaboaration I have in the works. They have a 4.6mm gap instead of 4.25mm. It so much better. Way less grabby and snaggy. I like them here’s a picture of them in one of my Whippets ![20211107_080914](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/6/f/8/6f84824f1a9baf0fd492c6a89b701dc5f09d0335.jpeg) ---

What glue/epoxy would you recommend for securing steel axle to plastic? My cheap super glue isn’t cutting it. ---

Depends on the plastic for low energy stuff like PE you should use primer before glueing. Pressfit is maybe the easiest way to get a secure fit. With ABS you can use glue for plastic models it melts the plastic slightly for a secure fit. ---

For press fitting you should use a small arbor press. They aren’t very expensive. Another option is to use a sturdy drill press to push it in. You need to make sure the axle is around .3mm larger than the hole you are inserting it into. ---

What plastic is your yoyo made from? At your local hardware store, you can find something called plastics glue. It comes with a marker that you use to prime each surface first, then apply the glue. In my experience it’s isn’t great for yoyos though, it usually fails eventually.
