[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 2436377, member: 9374"] No, no... that [B]is [/B]what I bought initially... I have two of those, a larger and a smaller. I worked on the skillet for about 10 minutes with the larger one, but couldn't see any appreciable difference, so I went looking for the other one (which I passed up the first time because it was like $16). Hell, I mean, I may just buy a grinder to use it on! Any excuse to buy more tools, right? :D Maybe what I didn't understand was how much time it would take to smooth out the cast iron? When you use that wire finishing brush, how much time do you need to spend? I got the impression it might take quite a while, an hour or a couple of hours? Just working on it for 10 minutes or so didn't seem to have much, if any, effect. I can see that the heavier-duty one I bought would knock it down really quick, plus, on a grinder it will be traveling MUCH faster. Guess I just need a bit more clarification on what to expect? BTW, I had a friend over this weekend who tried to tell me to never ever use any kind of steel brush on my cast iron (after I told her what those brushes laying there were for). I tried to explain that I was going to smooth it out, THEN season it, and she continued to lecture me that you never, ever want to do anything like that to cast, just cook in it and wipe it out.... [B]as she then proceeded to wash it with soap and hot water [/B]after my last cornbread batch. lol ;) Sometimes it's hard to get a word in edgewise to explain, so I just nodded and went on... I'll get it all sorted eventually. lol [/QUOTE]
