anyone used flowable silicone in a CUT? I’m reading different things and I’m wondering if I should try one half or both. I would like to keep the responsiveness as low as possible. Appreciate any input.

Yes, they play great with silicone. And they stay Unresponsive.

1. Read this: [http://www.hspin.com/webpage/?q=node/2183](http://www.hspin.com/webpage/?q=node/2183)
2. Silicone only one half, let it dry, try how it plays. Then try the second one. My personal CUT uses flowable silicone on both sides, but the surface of the sili is clearly concave (bent inwards).

Helpful?

yes very helpful Chris, thanks. So, as long as I maintain a nice concave in the silicone (which I’m good at :)) I can do both sides and it should play the way I like. You guys put out some world class yoyos by the way. I’m a fan
