I took off all of the mold marks on my Lyn , scilicon recess, the dimples on the inside are ground down smooth, new pog. On my X-Con I satined the rings, silicon recess, smoothed the edge of the aluminum where it transitions in to the body, new pog, added weight rings and added a KK bearing. My sunset i weighted it with about 20grams it felt too lite smoothed off the mold marks and satined the plastic it was too slick also changed the pog out. ---

> [@Batryn](#): > > Satined the plastic, polish the metal??? What is it, and how do you do it? to satin finish a yoyo, you need a bunch of sand paper from 100 grit to 800 grit, and you basically take the shine out, and to polish the rims on the dm you basically do the same thing but you go further with the sand paper, i go to 2000 grit, then i use a polish, like alumminum polish, for wheels on a car, and it shines it right up. the process takes a while, do some research… ---

These aren’t real crazy mods or anything but I cleaned the bearing in both my DM and Legacy… I made a custom cap for my DM… (My little sister drew it for me lol) I removed the starburst from my Fast 201. And I took out the clutch of a dollar store yoyo so I had time to do some tricks. Thats about it for me ---
