I've air dried about 20kg of freezer bait, covered with oils and started coating with powders and repeating in a large cool box, today the boiles felt warm when I was mixing them, they don't smell off but the heat concerns me, so I've bagged them and put back in freezer do you think these will be OK? No signs of mould but baffled by the warmth any comments would be appreciated

The cool box keeps cold in and it also keeps the warmth in
It was hot over the weekend and the cool box is keeping that heat in

Yup
Carry on drying out
Personally I would dry them out in a few weigh slings

What boilies are they

Do you think the boilies will be OK?

An alternative way of looking at it, they may actually be BETTER not worse than when you started. Bacterial or enzymatic action is a good thing, breaking things down into other desirable compounds not normally yet present, or in smaller quantities.

During a trip to France my boilies were turning on day 2, the results got better through the week.

If they are covered in green mould bin them. Otherwise they will be fine, in the past I have used boilies that were well past their supposed use by date. Given a dose of glug and a shake up they caught well.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
