I know there is a tutorial on the forum somewhere but I haven’t looked yet. I wanna try it on my TiShutter and maybe just in the cups of my TiCadence. I don’t think I could bring myself to stonewash my blue Tihawk! ---

The stonewash was pretty easy. I put in some cheap pads and a bad bearing to protect the important parts, and assembled the yoyo. Then I took a plastic jar with screw on lid,… ---
