actually what little time it was in the oven turned the sticky crap into hard crap. hard.. and brittle. so i busted out the scrapers and got to it. ill upload pics in just a second.

i have to admit i am biased against using a blaster. my setup is not contained and is a huge pain to set up for just one thing.i useully let things build up and blast many things at once.

and i come to you with another update.

my house is full of smoke and smells weird.

back to oven cleaner.

>>4081643
yea... i was being nice though. i figured they would learn.

>>4081625
the rust was just mild surface rust. since it has cleaned up a little i cant even tell where it was.

>>4081610
and this is the wierd black gunk that refuses to come off. the oven cleaner was trying to get this crap off... but since it is so squishy i am going to try baking it off. its in the oven on 500*F now.

>>4081602
this is the inside of the pan. it feels really smooth so i believe this pan may be of some quality at least.

update! i am making progress with the oven cleaner. you should be able to make out the text "inch skillet" clearly!

>>4081347
i cant read any real text. its to covered in crud.
perhaps we will know tomorrow.

i wonder what a sand blaster would do to incanel compared to cast iron....

>>4081327
what other methods of cleaning have you tried?

>>4081305
i hadnt even thought of that. i may buy some glass beads for my blaster. or hell i might try my walnut shells that i have left over from my stoplight restoration project. sweet turbo manifold btw. yours? make/model?

>>4081244
its not to impress people.
i do it to mark myself as someone who is less educated than the average poster of whatever board i may be on. plus i know people here really like a trip named progun who speaks highly of /k/. it was just meant to be friendly.

i dont think clr is gonna cut it. the skillet has been soaking in oven cleaner for 2 days now and the squishy black crub shows no sign of leaving. i think it may be time to scrape it off.

>>4078031
you know, when i become a transexual after using flaxseed oil on this cast iron pan that may be a possibility....

>>4077991
you are very welcome

thank you, my fish tank is nearing its 3rd birthday this new year. it has certainly been one of my best investments

wow this thread is still alive!

i just got home a few hours ago from the family range, after i finished cleaning the guns and such i decided to check the cast iron pan.

the thinnest spots of the old seasoning are completely removed, but the black gunk needs more time. if i had known this thread were still alive i would have taken picture for you guys. perhaps i will start to document this process in detail for you guys and make a nice thread for yall. the least i could do after you guys helped me do it...

>>4077412
your funny. i like you.

>>4077402
i cant see anything except what faintly appears to be inch skillet. its pretty heavily coated in black squishy goo

>>4077373
my iron doesnt appear to be valuable, and i got it for free. so im not to worried about heat.

also. just got done spaying oven cleaner. that is some tough shit. perhaps its the pacu of cleaners.

so it looks like i will be using the cleaning methods from
http://www.ibelieveicanfry.com/2010/12/reconditioning-re-seasoning-cast-iron.html

and the seasoning methods from
http://sherylcanter.com/wordpress/2010/01/a-science-based-technique-for-seasoning-cast-iron/

wish me lu/ck/, and again, thanks for the advice!

>>4077296
read the article. i will certainly heed the warnings within it. a good read too

>>4077329
i second the video. would be helpful to see actual results.

>>4077286
thanks for the advice

>>4077296
scary.i will look into that

>>4077266
you cook in the over that was cleaned with oven cleaner.

>>4077259
set the oven as high as it will go for 1 hour. use thin layers, at least six times. or at least thats what ill be doing

just follow the directions on the oven cleaner. you slather it on the iron, put iron in oven for however long the instructions say
