Sounds a bit defensive but I had nothing to loose and felt I did not have any other option at the time, 11 years ago.
Love the Campagnolo tools along with other marques. The hot oil was a good approach too. Did you just fill the cup or did it run into the tubes too?
I sanded down a wine cork to plug the spindle hole, then set up the frame on its side pitched down to make the bb shell the low point, and poured in about 1/2 cup. Some made it up the tubes but mostly stayed in the bb shell. I had it well cleaned up before bringing it to the LBS and when he was able to crack it open we could see and smell the canola, so it did work in there.
