How to Mod a Bolt Yo-Yo

Step 5An alternative to flowable silicone

An alternative to flowable silicone
I understand that the flowable silicone may intimidate some, and isn't
always readily availlable, so a quick an easy alternative to silicone
is shaving down the o-rings.

You'll need to use a hobby knife or a razor blade.

Place the blade against the o-ring and slice into the o-ring. Try to
cut the o-ring flush to the yo-yos surface. Continue the cut all the
way around the o-ring until it is all cut level to the surface of the
yo-yo.

Of course you want to keep the blade facing away from you.
