So i have been using flow-able silicone for response on my yoyos and its been working great. The other day i went to silicone one of my yoyos, it had been awhile since i had used it. Anyways as soon as i started to squeeze out silicone, the silicone case split in about 3 places, leaking silicone all over the place. Obviously, i can no longer use that silicone packaging to store and dispense it. Do you guys have any ideas on how to preserve the remaining silicone and get on my yoyos? ---

Same thing happened to me… I put it in a plastic bag… But it didn’t work too well. :-\ ---

I usually wrap my tubes in duct tape, been able to use all of the silicone in every tube since I started doing this. ---

> [@jhb8426](#): > > Toss it and buy a new one. sadly this is the best remedy. i’ve lost like 3 tubes because of this same reason and there really isn’t that good of a remedy. just be more cautious next time and that tube will last you a while. ---

they cost a buck, I wouldn’t worry too much about saving whatever’s left. or you could try putting it in a syringe. (one of those plastic ones)
