Stain on cooking surface of Erie

[Jeff Pyron]

I didn’t think to take a pic before the 1st round of seasoning of this beautiful 2nd series Erie but this was after a few days in lye bath, 24 hours in e-tank, 30 min in vinegar bath and scrubbed with SOS pad and chore boy. Any idea what it could be and if it’ll even out ? Or do I need to re-strip and do something different? Or just don’t worry about it?

It wouldnt hurt to start over, but it may go away with usage.

I read an article that said wire cup or power tool damage could leave it too shiny and now I’m wondering if that’s what happened.
