I silicone my yoyos with this flowable silicone and every other week, I have to resilicone my Horizon bc it gets worn really fast for no reason. I wait 8 hrs if not longer for new silicone to cure so I’m really not sure what’s going on. Suggestions?

Wait about 10-12 hours and use Permatex, which can be found at an auto store.

I wait 24 hours. It says that on the packaging.
