Back in the shop today, so hands are full of tools instead of throws.
But…….So I have to say, the iron nitrate portion of the finish I like.
but I’ve tried cyanoacrylate finish and I don’t think I care for it. It didn’t come out as nice or smooth as I would have liked.
I may strip it for another finish but as they are today, on the scale they are balanced (which is key)

At no point have I got the CA glue polish to work, but I’ve seen it done. Either looks good or feels good, but never both.
After staining or fuming I scrub the sh*t out of it with 0000 steel wool, the picture above that’s stained completely with the pyrographed flower took about an hour to scrub by hand.

Y’all gonna think I’m dumb.
At the start of this month I had a Center Trak equipped, and the pads already had a deal of wear on them. A couple weeks in, binds started getting real slippy. Now the logical choice would be to put new pads in. But I’m not like that. The money I have for my hobbies decided to teleport to another realm of existence, free of the financial oppression that dollar bills face in this world. I haven’t seen it for the last 19 months. So I do the next best thing, swap the bearing for something more shallow, a VIP bearing.
Today the same thing started happening. Logic is screaming “just change the dumb pads already!” My pads are in roughly the same state as the tires on my car. So, what do I do??? Like any irrational young adult, I ignore the obvious and choose to put a band-aid on the bullet hole by swapping the VIP for a flat 10 ball!

Mailcall! @kevinm inspired me. So I picked the “Carduncan” up! 
It is an excellent throw (if you are a freehand fan). I could not get the colorway that would have been my first choice…… but it’s growing on me. If folks have it NIB or unblemished ….. I think I’d like to collect these and get them all.
Love it!

I used to make pens with ca finish then polish them using micro mesh (wet sand). Came out super shiny and smooth. Id give that a shot if i were you.

Having hard time putting this one down my other yo-yos are getting jealous! This GitD Yellow is just so vivid, I can’t stop looking at it, especially with this orange string. Big 90’s Nickelodeon energy. Honestly does play great despite the bit o’ vibe, hits everything I can throw at it without drama. Can’t finger spin worth a damn with it, but that just means I need to practice it some more. Really has me wanting to try an Aurora now.
