Default Fuses (not a serious question)

Well your question is unanswerable but assuming its not got wet inside and
is simply glass and wire, I think it will be fine. Fuses are pretty crude
devices, and long before it got to its rated blowing current, I'd imagine
the heat would evaporate the water.

Is it one of those filled with what looks like talc?

I don't know what's inside it and to find out would destroy the fuse.

Also, what if it appears to work? Could it not then let through far
more than the rated current?

As I say, it is not a serious question as I will be using a new fuse
out of the packet.
