I just stumbled on the site while searching for an answer. I'm hoping one of you can provide an answer.

I bought a brand new pan that is factory seasoned and I didn't strip it off.

I used vegetable oil and it came out uneven, sticky spots, and does not have the wonderful non-stick surface I would like. I tried it about 2 more times and same result. I've since picked at it, scraped bits off, noticed what looked brownish/blackish, washed it, cooked bacon in it, scrubbed it with a steelo (stainless steel scrubber). Honestly can't tell if it's rust. It's brand new with factory season. I'm lost.

I'm about to try flaxseed oil. Can I can put this different oil/seasonings right over my current seasonings or do I have to strip it all off with chemicals and start all over?

    Partially cooked seasoning is relatively smooth and might even be shiny ... rust will be dull, dry and powdery – Joe Mar 15 '19 at 19:31
