I recently washed my bearings in mineral spirt for about 30 seconds but once I took it out and dried them they were all responsive.

If u have compressed air then blast it out with the air then let set for like an hour. If u don’t do that u really need to let it dry for hours. At least in my experience.

Short of compressed air. just blow on it fairly hard a couple of times. Then let it sit for an hour or so. Doesn’t hurt to dab it with a paper towel a bit either. If you use lighter fluid or acetone, it will dry much quicker than mineral spirits.

Either lube it or play it off or both.

my experience was with mineral spirits so that makes sense.

lubing a bearing that’s still wet with acetone or whatever will only make it worse.
