You may have to repeat the process to remove any minor high or low spots on the seal surfaces. Clean all the grit off and reassemble the fittings with oil or Never Seize on the threads. This process worked for me when I had damp fuel and oil connections with the AN fittings...
Great idea, i hadnt thought of that.
