Thanks everyone for replies - I'll dry them off and see if they will
cure after exposure to fuel or if its time for another piece of gauze.

Peter - off the top of my head, I seem to recall about 5 days at 25C
is the recommended period for full-strength cure of Redux. Maybe
yours hadn't really cured before you put it in the fuel. I think the
manual does say something explicit about doing the bonding-in well
ahead of time so it's really well cured before being exposed to fuel.

Rowland
