> Let them dry longer. Cooler temperature makes them take longer to dry out. You may also want to consider cleaning them again. Also, make sure you’re using CLEAN mineral spirits. You should be able to do at least 10-15(or more) bearings off a clean pour of mineral spirits. Clean the glass container as well. You want to make sure you’re not making it possible for bad stuff to get back inside.
