Title says it all. Just wondering. I have never siliconed a yoyo before, so I dont know the requirements.

It will work. Just take it slow and clean up the silicone if it gets anywhere besides the response groove. From my experience the majority of throws today will accept silicone even if it doesn’t state it online. All you really need is a response groove with enough depth. I’ve siliconed nearly my entire collection which is a big variety of yoyos with no problems. If done right silicone will give you tight, consistent binds and last a good amount of time.
