Rebuilding Shocks/Dampers

ok here's the deal: 3 days back i completely rebuilt my dampers; opened up all the seals, cleaned the shaft, reservoir etc etc. Refitted all the parts religiously, filled 'em back up, bled and recapped nicely. No missing parts or damaged parts detected. The dampers rebounced back fully after compression. All was good. They were placed in box laying awaiting car complete rebuild.

Yesterday, i noticed all of these dampers either rebounced very slightly or didn't rebounce at all after compression. With no trace of leaking, i'm puzzled

Should i rebuild dampers just moments before taking the car out which sounds a little bit awkward or toss those dampers at marshalls
