Look at post 23 of this thread:

Reviving dry scions?

I’ve finished my little experiment on rewetting dried out scions. 28 each of fig and peach scions were allowed to dry for 4 days setting on my kitchen counter. Then submerged for 3 days in water and weighed at various intervals to see how rapidly they dried and then rewet. What follows is the weight of all 28 cuttings. Weight after wetting started is corrected for the small amount of surface water that remained on the cuttings after they drained for 30 seconds. time…Figs…peaches start…187 g…84…

15 minutes wasn’t nearly enough to rewet dried out scions. It took more like 1-3 days. My approach would be to place them in a plastic bag, add some water, and store in the fridge for 3 days. In the fridge they won’t mold or drown. Then take them out and graft or follow Dax’s suggestions to prepare them for storage until you can graft.
