So I've had my G5+ for a while now, I really love the yoyo. Only problem is, I really have never had any experience with friction stickers before, so when time came to change them, I had no idea which stickers to get. I really liked the unresponsiveness it came with stock, so I asked someone from another yoyo site what stickers G5+'s came with stock, and then I bought that kind and size (if I remember correctly, it was Large Vapor Pads). Only problem is, when I got them, they looked like this in the yoyo:

I tried and tried to squeeze the sticker into the gap, but it either 1.) keeps popping out again, or 2.) slides out of the gap where the sticker is supposed to be.
So my question is, am I doing anything wrong? Or did I get the wrong stickers? Or... does it just take a while to "break them in" so they fit correctly?
any help is much appreciated, thank you!!

Ohh, hmmm... I guess I'm deciding between kentaro pads and silicone lol
just one thing I'm concerned about with silicone is, I really am clueless on how to do it... and I'm afraid I'll wreck my yoyo o_o so if I was to get kentaro pads, do you know what size fits g5+'s? lol

siliconeing it isnt that hard you just need to by some flowable silicone. they usually have it at ace. its made by permatex. then just put some in the gap where the pads are going to go. then smooth it out and let dry for like a hour. if you still need help after this just ask me.

I've been thinking a lot about it, and I think I'm going to go the silicone route. I have looked around and seen that a lot of people like Kentaro pads, but I just think silicone would be more convenient. I wouldn't have to get a bunch of different sizes of pads for all my yoyos, so there wouldn't be any guess-work involved in purchasing the stuff.
thanks very much guys! I'm gonna try to get silicone as soon as I can :)
