Okay so I accidentally got some flowable sillicone in the bearing seat of my DV888 and my PROTOSTAR and it’s BARELY any like I scraped it all off with a little tack and there’s like 1/10th of a hair left and it’s stopping my yoyo from working correctly… does anyone know how to fix this?

keep picking at it or play it until it gets loose and falls out.

As PikachuCanYoyo said just pic it out, use an object that is wide and flat that allows you to get all the silicone out when it dries

No!!!

Clean it using a paint thinner… the paint thinner will dissolve the hair, silicone and the dirt in it…

He didn’t say there was a hair in it, just that there was a hair’s size of silicone left. Using paint thinner will slowly dissolve the plastic. Getting a little bit of it on the yoyo wouldn’t matter, but if you let it sit there for a while, it wouldn’t be good for your yoyo.
