If you put silica gel inside the yo-yo, the excess silica gel will be scraped backwards, so the recycling will be more sensitive. It doesn't matter if the silicone is not scraped clean, the yo-yo will gradually wear when idling.
If there is no silica gel, it is recommended to change the rope, because the rope has no toughness.
It is recommended not to buy stars and stripes for recycling.
Tape recycling is the best.
