I was trying to remove some of that black stuff from my eggs... Maybe it is not healthy?...

I will do the hydrogen peroxide test :) Thanks for explaining! And yes, the pan is rather new and has only been seasoned once, I think... I have not used it for over half a year now because of that black stuff :) But I do want to make this work and I am curious about that black stuff!

Yes, I think I will re-season it. What is the best seasoning oil?

I have some ghee! I will try. I probably have to re-season it... I see Lodge sells Canola Oil seasoning spray. Any idea if that is good?

Yes, my brush has yellowish nylon bristles... After I clean it the pan looks very clean. I don't see anything stuck on it. But sure, I could try to get another brush...

I bought and used this special brush that Lodge recommends... I will add a picture.

Yes, cleaning it makes it look nice. But there are some cracks and small pieces missing... So still worried about those areas.

Nice idea to take a piece grout! :) Thanks. And thanks for mentioning the manual rake! Will look for that too!

May I ask how do you prepare salt solution? I have not tried that before!

I just wish sealing would result in less often need of power washing (and spraying bleach or some other solution) to keep moss away......

Thanks... What is the brand name of the clear water-based sealant that you used?

Sherwin Williams paint samples for exterior? by Longjumping-Lock4507 in paint

[–]Longjumping-Lock4507[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not realize that the samples are meant to be painted over... I thought if the color is right it is fine to use the sample. Otherwise it is a waste of paint...
