What do you guys do with your boilies after boiling?
How long do you air dry before freezing?
Should i air dry then glug and freeze or just air dry and freeze then glue once I take them back out? Or both?

depends what you want from said drying really
the harder you require, the longer you leave them out.
ive boiled baits and used them within an hour, lovely soft bait for short stalking session.
Ive also dried out baits for 3 weeks

freeze once cold if you dont need to throwing stick them out.
give them a day if a harder bait is required.

The longer they are air dried the less the freezing process is necessary.
However, Tim Paisley once wrote that frEezing was a vital part of his bait prep. Graham Cowdray (A2 Baits - remember them?) stated that air dried baits were superior to the same bait frozen. Go figure!

Just getting into bait making myself,
I've just rolled some and put a layer of rock salt in the drying tray, gave them a good covering left for two days then froze!
See how they work out?

Imo the best way is to use them fresh, ie rolled a day before going so not frozen or preserved. It makes a big difference
