I've just got a new Wok and seasoned it today but where I've finished there are these areas of raised semi circle dimples (not sure how clearly you can see but pics attached) and around the top it's very "sticky" in parts.
To start I gave it a really good scrub with a wire pan scrubber and washing up liquid, dried then heated the whole of the pan till it changed colour everywhere, let it cool and then with kitchen towel applied a very thin coating of oil, reheated all over until it stopped smoking and repeated the last step 2 more times.
My only concern is that maybe I didn't scrub it hard enough to get all of the coating from the factory off, I did go at it for a good 5 / 10 minutes but wasn't excessively aggressive as I didn't want to scratch the pan.
Anybody any idea if it may be that or anything else that may have caused it and would you think it's good to use?
