"This is the best lube you will ever use" "I've used this lube for the past 10 years and had great experiences with it"

I FOUND A GREAT SUBSTITUTE!! I couldn't get my hand in any of the products that were mentioned in the video, so i did some experiment. I have a cheap responsive yoyo which spun for about 18-20 secs, the string of the yoyo keeps vibrating the whole time it spins. SO... I dipped a q-tip into a baby oil (2 drops)and rubbed it all over the yoyo bearings. [This brought down the spin time from about 20 secs to about 6 secs]. AND THEN... I put 5-6 drops of Zippo lighter fluids all over the bearing and let it sit for about a minute. Then i spin the bearings while blowing it dry. THATS IT. Now my yoyo spins for about 35 secs[average] which is great considering that it costs 1 dollar, and the string never vibrates again except for the short vibration which comes from the throw itself. Hope it helps someone. GIVE IT A LIKE IF IT HELPS.

You made me log in just to give a like to your video

you should make more of these, it really helps with the expensive materials you need to buy

appreciate you taking the time to make these videos. I'm just now getting into yoyoing so I pretty much get all of my info from your videos.

this guy is always doing some makeshift DIY shit in his backyard, fuckin awesome

Finally...i found a video that makes a homemade lube for bearings...thanks for doing this video and you make a really good video...i really appreciate it...Fan from malaysia.

just made me some last night, quieted my bearing right up, and definitely helped the spin for sure.. thanks!!

This stuff sounds so cool! Definitely making some as soon as possible!

How well does baby oil work?

Man!!! Thxx for posting this. I'm getting these ingredients immediately.

This stuff works great! I had some regular paint thinner I used but besides the strong smell, it was awesome.

Thanks man! I just did it and the yo yo is flying and silent! Also thanks for the review of Magic Yoyo n12, it made me buy one and I couldn't be more satisfied. I just started to play again after 10 to 12 years maybe. I was playing with my old Hitman before, and man, you can tell the screaming difference in performance.

wow very useful, thanks. I've been waiting for this.

Dylan Kowalsk is a FUCKING genius!

i have just gotten into yoyoing...thank you for everything u really help me

Hi, thanks for the tips... Where I live I do not get mineral spirit... can i replace the mineral spirit with zippo lighter fluid?

Please answer. Can I just use a cotton swab or something and rub it in while the bearing is still in the middle of my spinner? I don't want to take it out, because this one is meant to stay in.

Hi Dylan asking can I use lighter fluid and 4 in 1 oil?

YO!! Awesome dude!! Thank you!!!

Cool vid, thanks man

thank you it really works

Love your vids

will the mineral spirits be harmful to plastic? im planning on using this for yoyos and for rubiks cubes

super sweet, I am going to start implementing this soon. I especially like this for bearing storage. I had been meaning to get a few spare bearings from upgrading others, but I was worried about storing them outside of a yoyo, where I could not play them as you say a better way to keep them from rusting. I would like to ask is the solvent strong enough to remove rust? I have a couple old yoyojam C bearings that have rust marks from their strings. Nothing major, but just curious if leaving them in that solution would help with that. (I have other means......muahahahaha)

If you can't use mineral oil with a plastic yoyo, what can you use as a thin lube sub for a plastic yoyo. Specifically the replay pro.

happy first birthday for this video!!!!

Thats awesome, thanks man.

for a fidget spinner can u just put the ball bering in there and soak it?

Bro can you use odorless mineral spirits? I’ve used the clear stuff forever but I just got some odorless stuff and it’s milky instead of clear lol, not sure if it being odorless affects the ratio of lube to solvent

Thanks Dylan you saved me lots of money

Will the white mineral spirits still work from kleanstrip green not regular kleanstrip

This is a great recipe. However, I have had very good results by cleaning bearings that have debris in them with the following. Use a similar pill container, similar to the one that Dylan uses here, and approximately half fill the container with Acetone. ** Be careful with acetone on your skin, it really isn't good!! ** Then put your bearing in there and leave it to soak for a few minutes to an hour. Shake the container to make sure any debris in the bearing is flushed out. Have some kitchen paper ready on your work surface. I hook the bearing out of the container with a long thin pen, pencil or paintbrush handle - something like. Put the bearing on the kitchen paper and you'll see the acetone instantly being absorbed. Then, spin the bearing and blow through it to get out any remaining acetone. Then put a drop or two of lube into the bearing. Give it few spins and add more if necessary. I would avoid cleaning old bearings in your newly concocted oil mixture. Any debris that comes out of them, is now in your oil mixture. This may be reintroduced into another bearing later - not good. Like your face, you should keep your oil completely clean! Hope this helps! Take care and Thanks for your brilliant videos Dylan! :-)

Dude thanks for teaching me to make thin yoyo lube

+Dylan Kowalski my dad told me using mineral spirits will eat up my bearing because its so strong. is there anything else I can use to dilute the oil besides lighter fluid? maybe water?

Hi! The singer oil and normal alcohol can be work as a thin lube?

okay thank vids are fabulous

Can I use 4 in one oil as a substitute for 3in1 oil? Is it the same??

So useful, thanks.

Thats nice

Hey great tutorial, mineral spirits is banned in California so I was wondering if I would be able to use charcoal lighter fluid as a substitute for the mineral spirits when mixing it with the 3 in 1 oil.

Hey Dylan. My friend wants to know if that solution you use would interfere with the adhesives used in pads or friction stickers. He likes to rock the FHZ and does not want his pads to get ruined.

Great stuff! Thanks for the video. How often should I put my bearings in this solution cause I only have 3 yo yos and 3 bearings?

Will this work for ceramic bearings?

Will low odor mineral spirits work if I can't find odorless spirits?

Hey thanks the help on every thing

Awesome! Where I live I do not get mineral spirit. But I have thinner. I also have tumpertin. What would be more similar? I also have multipurpose oil (non-aerosol)Thank you very much, Dylan 🙂

What does lube do

White spirits work??

This is the best lube I have ever tried. Although It has a bad Odor. Its very cheap and its worth it. Buying the mineral spirits and the 3in1 together only cost about $10
