Recently, my kpad for my north star fell out and wouldn’t go back in. I went to Kragens and bought the flowable silicone VERSACHEM.
I messed up 2 times putting the silicone in, but the third time (now). Made my yo yo a bit responsive. I only filled up half of my k pads original space, but it’s still responsive.
EDIT:
By responsive, is that when I tug a bit on my yo yo, it auto comes back. And when I try to do a whip, It comes back, And if I throw to hard (the yo yo bounces on the string) it comes back.
You probably got silicone in the bearing seat or the bearing. If the bearing spins fine, and you can’t see any silicone on the bearing seat no matter how hard you look, then you just have to break it in.
yeah I saw some silicone debris on my bearing(inside) though since I didn’t have mineral spirit or lighter fluid, I just used the thin lube, hoping to clean it.
So if my bearing is spinning fine, I just need to break in my new silicone pad right?
K I think i got it. I just need to clean my bearing.
Thanks,
