Oil pan gasket replacement - added oil too soon?

So *a friend* of mine just replaced the oil pan and gasket on my, I mean his car. He added felpro 226 RTV sealant to both sides of the gasket and then I, I mean he, tightened everything down. Within about 10 minutes I, that is he, went ahead and poured new oil into the engine. Starting it briefly for about 10 seconds to help it get all up in that shit..

After a few moments of after-thought it occurred to him that maybe the RTV is supposed to cure a bit before it is put into service or has oil added to it.

Now I'm wondering if I just screwed myself up.


Q 2, extra credit:

In his haste I managed to pour about 1/4 of a cup of oil outside the funnel and it pretty much went all over the fan and various hoses. Is this going to be a real problem?
