The recesses (that I don’t think even exist) on those yoyos are very much too shallow for silicone to hold for more than a few throws. You’ll need to get them recessed before you do any siliconing, unless you’re fine with re-siliconing after 2 or 3 throws.

Would recessing a mosquito be similar to a fhz?
