Maybe teflon tape would help? Im not sure if that is the correct application of that tape.

[There is a list of trustworthy modders here.](http://yoyoexpert.com/forums/index.php/topic,5371.0.html) I’ve seen that some of them aren’t actually active any more but I’m sure you can find somebody on that list to retap your Superwide. 🙂

Good luck!
