You’ll just have to quickly redo the silicone right now. Won’t be fully cured by tomorrow afternoon but it should have dried enough to get you through a quick performance. Alternatively, you could try shaving off the excess silicone with a hobby knife or a box cutter. Yuki ---

Or response pads… If you got them… This is why you just keep one pair. 😛 ---

Lube are play with it later I throw it a lot until it’s not responsive. Maybe replace the silicone with actual silicone pads. Always have extra silicone pads in handy. ---

> [@jhb8426](#): > > Trim it flush with a razor blade. x2! try this and it should work. if not, peel it all out and pour new and hit it with a blow dryer on low from a little distance to try and get it to cure as much as possible. good luck and keep us update if you find a solution. :wink: ---

> [@hobbyman101](#): > > I can not offer any help with your problem but I do hope you find a solution and that you do well and have a good time tomorrow. Most useful post goes to this guy. Anyway, rarely does the response cause the yoyo to be responsive. I think some silicone may be stuck in the bearing seat. Try this, take a tooth pick, and run it around in the bearing seat to remove the silicone, then take a q-tip to remove the rest. Clean the bearing or pop in a new bearing. If that doesn’t make it unresponsive, rip out the silicone with a sharpened wooden dowel and re apply the silicone. You could always just use a different yoyo ya know :wink: ---
