I would say they are now stuffed. the kero will get in to the surface and when they heat it will soften and spread all around the disk. Look at it this way " What is your life or the life of others worth? " Sorry but I think new ones are on the cards.

Exactly... but it makes you wonder who the genius was that came up with the name of the stuff...

Kero does leave a slight oily residue,but not really an issue - heat them up with a torch,the kero will come out pronto,but after half a day I reckon it's gone already.Hit it with some brakeclean if you are fussy.Wash them in hot water next time...
