Alex, it is a good lesson for us all. The gunk in the hole develops a high pressure (just like a hydraulic ram)when the stud is screwed in against it. It was probably thick enough to seal, rather than exiting down the thread.
Some guys would never say anything. We learn the fastest, when we make mistakes. When we see the mistakes of others, sometimes the warning can penetrate our own skulls. (me included)
