Other than RTV. I recently figured that neither my nearby OSH nor Home Depot  
have any Flowable/RTV silicone. Is there any silicone that would replace it well?

I did buy a “DAP All-purpose Adhesive Sealant 100% silicone” and it is pretty  
decent (other than the fact that makes the yoyo pretty snaggy)but I feel like  
there must be something better than this.

You might have better luck in an auto parts store for the flowable if one is near you.

actually works pretty nicely. It was just my problem with putting in the silicone.  
The snag went away and now it is perfect
