I just seasoned my griddle with the Blackstone Griddle Seasoning and Cast Iron Conditioner product they sell for seasoning (which comes as a paste with the consistency of lard) and I am not sure if I like the outcome. As the griddle got hot and the center expanded the liquid ran to the edges. I kept pushing it to the center but after 5 applications and letting it finally cool down it was built up on the edges and if I try and wipe it, it just comes off all the way down. The majority of the cooking surface came out good and has a nice black color but one edge in particular never got black, and has a thick layer of dried conditioner.
Should I just go with it or scrub it all off and start over with vegetable oil? How do you re-season, clean it off with a grill brick then start over?
Pics below, you can see the right edge and the corner where I attempted to wipe some off. (As a side note I finally realized that my swamp cooler was blowing on the edge which is likely why it didn't get hot enough to season)
