Nope, hoping it’s in my mailbox today, but it’s still fairly late regardless. I mean, using USPS flat rate priority boxes, whomever it is could have shipped this last Friday or Saturday and it should be here by today. That would have been like a week late from when we were all supposed to ship by. So long as I eventually get it, I don’t care, but I’m starting to worry a bit.

Wutwut? No. And again no.

Aloe-vera is too viscous and if it’s in a bottle it’s usually mixed with alcohol which is a contributor to corrosion.

Vaseline is also far too viscous. The smallest amount in your bearing will render it responsive.

You likely don’t need to lube it. Look up how to clean yoyo bearings, usually mineral spirits is recommended but most solvents will work if you dry then properly, and just do a good cleaning on your bearings. You’ll be fine playing it dry without lube if you clean it well.

Lube is pretty much counter-intuitive for yoyo bearings. Most people think lubing bearings makes them spin longer, but this is false. Lube only protects bearings from overheating and corrosion. Yoyo bearings really won’t generate all that much heat, so lube is really only for corrosion protection. Any lube, no matter how thin, will actually reduce sleep times for yoyos. If your bearing isn’t spinning well, it needs to be cleaned, not lubed.

At most, yoyo bearings require a sewing needle sized drop of lube to prevent corrosion. Even that much is enough to reduce spin times and introduce some responsiveness.

How are you finding the gradient? deciding whether or not to get one 😃
