Stripping and reseasoning my cast iron. How the hell do you guys prevent rust from forming the second you dry it off? Red brown shit gets on the pan too quickly.

A properly seasoned pan will not rust.

If you're talking about the brief time period between stripping and re-seasoning? Just act quickly.

Yes. I'd like to try to dry it off ASAP but the rough surface seems to tear off fabrics and pull lint from towels. I wonder if this is a major issue, or should I try to wipe the lint off when I'm oiling the pan?

Man if there's enough cooking fat in the pores of the metal you shouldn't have any problem with rusting. After rinse, wipe the pan dry and open air should remove any risidual moisture from the surface.

If your pan is that rough I'd take a grinding stone to it to smooth out the inside surfaces. How much was it when you bought it? I'm guessing the finishing job at the factory wasn't that great.

It was a lodge pan from walmart, don't remember the cost. The surface is rough and there was still seasoning stuck in some pits after I washed off the lye. Not my pic, but the pan looked like this when I bought it.

It'll be fine, anon. Just dry it and start your seasoning process.

Why was there lye in your pan?

Dry the skillet with heat, not with wiping.
And yeah, like >>11507707 said it shouldn't be that rough. Did you do something dumb like sandblast it, or etch it with electricity or acid?

Anon said he stripped the pan therefore I would presume the lye was for that purpose.

Right. Anon sounds retarded shoulda just sanded it out with a palm sander to strip woulda stoned both his birds with one blunt.

Nope. Had this problem after my first cooking when I tried to oil the pan. Probably used some shitty towels

There is definitely rust on the bottom which needs to be scoured out. My suggestion would be to take a medium-grit sandpaper to the inside of the pan, which will grind all the rust out and also smooth out the bottom, then wash the pan and re-season.
Every time you use the pan until a nice non-stick developes, after you're done with it and it's been rinsed apply a thin coat of oil to the pan and wipe away the excess before storing it. You should be good following that procedure.
