A 36" replacement griddle is about $200... Pay $20 for a palm sander so that it sands flat without gouging the surface. It will reach all the way to the edge. Start with 60 grit & then 80, 100, then 120 grit. Re-season it about 3 times---use just enough oil & wipe excess before heating each seasoning. Each time after you use it, add water to the surface and let it steam clean itself while still hot. Wipe it, oil the rag and wipe it before adding the silicone protective mat. Maintaining it cheaper than replacing...
@@lucaswilkinson8398 I did watch the video but it says in giant words in the middle of the video saying watch me mess up my Blackstone. Everyone saying that she scratched it and ruined it is literally just pointing out the obvious
Buy what is called a grill cleaning brick. You can buy at a restaurant supply store or order off Amazon. While the grill is hot, put a little oil on the grill, not too much, and spread evenly with brick. Then, in a sanding motion top, bottom, top bottom, clean the grill. NEVER go sideways. Only ever up and down. This will evenly clean the grill. It might even fix the mess you made by sanding. A palm sander, which is much cheaper, would have been better with black sanding paper that is 400 to 500 grit. Hope this helps.

Yes you can strip all of the seasoning off and re season it. The kit they sell with the sanding stone isn't worth a crap and will take forever. I used a drill with a wire wheel. It was still a little time consuming, but I stripped it down to the bare metal and re seasoned it. Mine is over four years old and I use it at least two times a week. Never rusted ( I clean it and oil it after every use). Eventually the seasoning started coming off in spots giving the surface an uneven look. After stripping everything off and re seasoning the griddle looked new again...smooth dark and nonstick.

😂😂 I’m cracking up cuz Tori ….what?!! Your blackstone looked just fine! Nobody was worried about a blacksone top. We are here for your blackstone recipes. 😂 I hope you can buy just a new top part. You tried hun ❤️
@toejamr1 what? It was a MISTAKE. We all make them, in second though if making a mistake enough to make you hate someone maybe you are better off unsubcribing.
I mean she had the right idea- but she needed better tools. My blackstone rusted from being outdoors and unprotected. I used my angle grinder and a gator wheel to get it down to smooth bare metal then I just re-seasoned it and it’s been fine ever since. Now I just keep it in the garage.
I had/have the same issue. The sander wouldn't have helped. I used 4" grinder and it still didn't work. It turns everything black..not burnt, black burnt grease. I refollowed the seasoning instructioins...same result.
They make a grill cleaner that is activated by heat. Turn on the burner full blast then throw a pouch of the cleaner on it. Turns it shiny metal instantly & wipe off. Almost all Fast food restaurants use this method to clean their grill top. Fast and efficient.
Use a paint stripping disc for a drill. It like $7 and works really good. Use the wide flat surface of the disc. Grill needs to be dry and cool. Almost as good as a sander.
Metalworker here. The damage is already done but for the future: NEVER try to grind a surface with a round hand guided tool. That top will need a surface grinder after that treatment. Get a cheap belt sander or oscillating sander, they have a flat working area but round tools when they are not guided by ground mounted machines always screw up surfacing jobs.
If you take a propane or Mas torch to the edges it will heat them up enough to season them. They do not get hot enough to be properly seasoned so using the torch will make them turn black like the middle.
Oil the edge (just a faint touch of oil) then blowtorch it to get the high temp required for seasoning it. Also I'd avoid the teflon coated/nonstick tops and get a fresh metal one and season it myself. A barbecue grill's wire brush would be a must for cleaning.
I'm not gonna bandwagon with all these people calling you out for ruining this thing. I'm gonna thank you for sharing a fail (that's is totally fixable BTW) and showing the truth of being a DIY-figure-it-out person. We mess stuff up, then we fix it.. that's how we learn. Get yourself a 60 grit sanding block and put some elbow grease into those edges and season again.
People aren't hating about the DIY break&fix method... It's the lack of research and critical thinking. It's the lack of pause after realizing she got the wrong tool. It's the poor execution even with that drill attachment. Sure you can pat everyone on the back at every turn to keep em going, but sometimes you gotta tell someone to "Stop, think...then act" 🤷♂️
this isn’t fucking around and finding out DIY Style. This is fucking around and finding out because you don’t know how to properly clean the grill. Sanding a grill has never been a number one go to cleaning method?
@@rickeykoga2312 I was given a rusted out Blackstone last month and when I researched it, I found that sanding it was my best chance at fixing it. I already had the tools to do it correctly, so no biggie. She thought she could get by with a drill bit. That didn't work. She appears to have ended up in a mindset of "well, I already goofed it up, why not keep going maybe I can dig myself out of the hole without dropping more money." it's a mistake, for sure. But one she'll learn from. And anyway, it's her property. I don't understand why people get so upset over things that don't belong to them. She didn't do irreparable damage.
Nobody is on a bandwagon honey. Lets not get ahead of ourselves now. People are just pointing out the blatantly obvious mistakes that could’ve been avoided with some common sense, and research. 👍🏻
I used to work at a restaurant with a flat top grill. We had to clean it every night. First we’d pour a cup of water across the hot grill top and then use a metal food scraper to scrape everything that came up into the scum collector (?). Sometimes we’d do it a second time. Then we would squeeze on a packet of grill cleaner. The texture was like a runny gel and it was about 1/3 cup of cleaner. Make sure you spread it across the top, let it bubble, then scrape it off. Finish with another coat or two of water/scrape off, then turn the grill off. I’m sure flat top grill cleaner exists and you could do something similar! Good luck
I second this! I used to work at a restaurant and the cooks would use this exact method to clean off the flat top, it looked brand new after every clean. They used Scotch brite gel cleaner and a grill cleaning brick! Hope this helps ♥️
@@raekitty19oh yeah, I forgot about the grill cleaning brick! It’s been 10+ years so I’m surprised I’m remembered as much as I did. We had a scrubby brick that was made of steel wool I think. It was attached to a handle and that’s what we’d use to smear the cleaner around to cover the whole grill/scrub the cleaner into the grill surface
the front edge doesnt see the same amount of heat as the rear. Just turn the griddle top around (front is now the back side) and let it get ripping hot. Should be a-ok after a few seasoning passes.
Easy off oven cleaner, leave on 24 hours, wash with ivory dish soap, then 1 part vinegar and 1 part water to remove chemicals from oven cleaner, then wash again with ivory. Now you're ready to season. I use this with cast iron and it works. Never sand it
genuinely my reaction😭. funny cs i had seen other black stone videos mention a black stone mom that fucked up her grill nd juss _knew_ it was her, didn’t think it’d be thisss bad tho😭😭
You need to borrow an angle grinder with a flap disc attachment. Just did it and then saw some others doing it on youtube. It'll be fine. I'm going to try a wire brush attachment for the corners.
@HolySchmoltz yes, my husband got me one for my birthday because I requested it. I love to grill on it for meal prepping! Grilled chicken for the week! 😂
Thanks! I didn’t know the terminology for these videos. Now I know what to call the videos where they don’t take the labels off the aluminum pans before cooking food😅
Love your videos. And love watching you cook on your Blackstone. I’m pretty sure you’re going to have to buy a new one. I was nervous watching you do that. You seemed to be taking all your frustrations out on that poor thing 😅
There is 2 things you can do. #1 use a "strong" oven cleaner #2 they make a popcorn machine cleaner in a can. Just spray it on and wait. Trust me it works
@NFLHITMAN there's always gonna be just a touch of surface rust,but the restoration kit does help,also be sure to keep your griddle coated between uses
Everyone is saying it's ruined. She mostly just destroyed the seasoning. Simply start over. Wash with soap and water. Use an orbital sander or a wire wheel and take it all the way down to steel. Re-season and it will be perfect! People are commenting like you removed a Teflon coating or something.
Correct. She hasn't ruined it at all, just left some trails. There;'s no way that girl and that drill has enough power to groove carbon steel in thatshort a time. The disc is the way to go, as I have done half a dozen times in 7 years. Actually, that griddle looked just fine from the get go. If she saw mine, she'd faint. TIP: Girl. Lose the silicone protective cover. It will defeat any oil you put on the surface to keep rust away by trapping ambient moisture underneath. Just use a couple layers of paper towels as a vapor barrier. The paper willl absorb enough oil lto be a perfect solution. Guns don't come new in box wrapped in oil impregnated paper for nothing.
Ok as someone who works cooking on blackstone everyday is clean it with a grill brick once a week when using it after you turn it off put some oil on it and scrub then you also season just by putting a layer of oil on it when you finish scrubbing it and it will stay nice but also seasoned
what restaurant do you work at so I know NOT to come and eat at if you only clean the grill once a week. And yes I do work as a cook in a restaurant and we clean our grills daily, as they should be just like anything else that you cook food in.
@@tieryanayou must be stupid or dont understand blackstones. Stainless steel grills yes but grill bricking a blackstone once a week is plenty and might even be over kill
He's talking about a deep clean with the brick not a daily clean. You don't use a grill brill daily and reseason daily. Too funny how ppl don't know how to clean these...watch a video ppl online. Easy to do!
@@TheRich4187 Actually depending on the use. And with 24 hour use 7 days a week our grills need to be "deep cleaned" at the end of every shift. Which is 3 times a day.
Do you know if you can buy one of the lids like they have on the newer models. The older ones didn't have the lids, but I certainly don't want a whole new grill.
They make wire brush attachments for your drill that would work a lot easier and be less aggressive than that sanding attachment. Just make sure to wear eye pro

You can purchase a stone from Blackstone that does the same thing as a sander and causes a lot less damage to the surface. Using the drill you way you did has damaged the surface and probably can't be fixed. Elbow grease is better than using the wrong tool.
In her defense, she did say someone needs to take the Blackstone away from her...

😂😂 I’m cracking up cuz Tori ….what?!! Your blackstone looked just fine! Nobody was worried about a blacksone top. We are here for your blackstone recipes. 😂 I hope you can buy just a new top part. You tried hun ❤️
After seeing this, I won’t be back for any recipes that is for sure.
@toejamr1 what? It was a MISTAKE. We all make them, in second though if making a mistake enough to make you hate someone maybe you are better off unsubcribing.
@@toejamr1 good one less perfect person judging her. Adios! 😘
@@toejamr1 oh no don’t goooo
@@toejamr1Toe! 😢Please don't leave!what are we doing to do without you!!!! 😵Omgg 😔
I just gasped like I’d been slapped.
Same ..my jaw dropped when she took out that buffer /sander ..😂
Same!
I mean she had the right idea- but she needed better tools. My blackstone rusted from being outdoors and unprotected. I used my angle grinder and a gator wheel to get it down to smooth bare metal then I just re-seasoned it and it’s been fine ever since. Now I just keep it in the garage.
I had/have the same issue. The sander wouldn't have helped. I used 4" grinder and it still didn't work. It turns everything black..not burnt, black burnt grease. I refollowed the seasoning instructioins...same result.
If your goal in this video was to force yourself to buy a new black stone then you nailed.
Lmao
😂😂 I think it was because wtf 💀
If your goal in life is to waste money then anyone with a brain in the other hand knows it’s perfectly fine 😂😂😂
if you're goal was to hurt someones feelings instead using constructive criticism then you nailed it 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
why wouldn’t you google it???
Seriously! In a day and age where information is literally at our fingertips, if you don't know what you're doing just do some research for 5 minutes.
or watch on youtube 😢 there are a lot of videos on how to properly clean and season it 😢
she did clearly. as it’s recommended to sand it. she just used the wrong tools
For real.... like... wat 💀
She's dumb, she's milking it.
They make a grill cleaner that is activated by heat. Turn on the burner full blast then throw a pouch of the cleaner on it. Turns it shiny metal instantly & wipe off. Almost all Fast food restaurants use this method to clean their grill top. Fast and efficient.
Use a paint stripping disc for a drill. It like $7 and works really good. Use the wide flat surface of the disc. Grill needs to be dry and cool. Almost as good as a sander.
“Someone needs to take my Blackstone away from me”-looks like you ended up doing that yourself.
Metalworker here. The damage is already done but for the future: NEVER try to grind a surface with a round hand guided tool. That top will need a surface grinder after that treatment. Get a cheap belt sander or oscillating sander, they have a flat working area but round tools when they are not guided by ground mounted machines always screw up surfacing jobs.
nah just use a grill brick and oil lol
Surface grinder? You can't be serious 😂😂😂😂😂😂
So if you grind off the black stone coating don’t you just have stainless steel left and lose the nonstick effect?
@@samantha953
She already did that. See the nice shiny metal gouges?
@samantha953 yes of course, but a surface grinder is a completely different machine. Maybe they are referring to something else 🤷♂️
If you take a propane or Mas torch to the edges it will heat them up enough to season them. They do not get hot enough to be properly seasoned so using the torch will make them turn black like the middle.
Oil the edge (just a faint touch of oil) then blowtorch it to get the high temp required for seasoning it. Also I'd avoid the teflon coated/nonstick tops and get a fresh metal one and season it myself. A barbecue grill's wire brush would be a must for cleaning.
I'm not gonna bandwagon with all these people calling you out for ruining this thing. I'm gonna thank you for sharing a fail (that's is totally fixable BTW) and showing the truth of being a DIY-figure-it-out person. We mess stuff up, then we fix it.. that's how we learn. Get yourself a 60 grit sanding block and put some elbow grease into those edges and season again.
💯 ❤❤❤❤
People aren't hating about the DIY break&fix method...
It's the lack of research and critical thinking. It's the lack of pause after realizing she got the wrong tool. It's the poor execution even with that drill attachment.
Sure you can pat everyone on the back at every turn to keep em going, but sometimes you gotta tell someone to "Stop, think...then act" 🤷♂️
this isn’t fucking around and finding out DIY Style. This is fucking around and finding out because you don’t know how to properly clean the grill. Sanding a grill has never been a number one go to cleaning method?
@@rickeykoga2312 I was given a rusted out Blackstone last month and when I researched it, I found that sanding it was my best chance at fixing it. I already had the tools to do it correctly, so no biggie. She thought she could get by with a drill bit. That didn't work. She appears to have ended up in a mindset of "well, I already goofed it up, why not keep going maybe I can dig myself out of the hole without dropping more money." it's a mistake, for sure. But one she'll learn from. And anyway, it's her property. I don't understand why people get so upset over things that don't belong to them. She didn't do irreparable damage.
Nobody is on a bandwagon honey. Lets not get ahead of ourselves now. People are just pointing out the blatantly obvious mistakes that could’ve been avoided with some common sense, and research. 👍🏻

Wow I'm old but I saw they remade Don't tell mom the babysitters dead. So this line may be unleashed for a new generation.
There is an abrasive brick used on griddle in restaurants, I would try one of those.
Pumice stone will not work.
Blackstone has a Grill Restore kit that works perfectly fine. You can find it in your local lowes store.
Why the hell would you use a sander they have a product it's called a Grill Brick
It hurt me watching her
Some people don't know how to Google the proper way to do things.
Aloha. That was painful to watch.
C'mon.....she's a woman. Give her a break.
I bet you cand sand this like people do with cast iron and have a much better surface. That said what she attempted would not get you there lol.
I used to work at a restaurant with a flat top grill. We had to clean it every night. First we’d pour a cup of water across the hot grill top and then use a metal food scraper to scrape everything that came up into the scum collector (?). Sometimes we’d do it a second time. Then we would squeeze on a packet of grill cleaner. The texture was like a runny gel and it was about 1/3 cup of cleaner. Make sure you spread it across the top, let it bubble, then scrape it off. Finish with another coat or two of water/scrape off, then turn the grill off.
I’m sure flat top grill cleaner exists and you could do something similar! Good luck
I second this! I used to work at a restaurant and the cooks would use this exact method to clean off the flat top, it looked brand new after every clean. They used Scotch brite gel cleaner and a grill cleaning brick! Hope this helps ♥️
Yup I'm a cook and this is the best method. I used to use the orange scotch Brite degreaser ! But I'm sure any degreaser is fine
@@raekitty19oh yeah, I forgot about the grill cleaning brick! It’s been 10+ years so I’m surprised I’m remembered as much as I did.
We had a scrubby brick that was made of steel wool I think. It was attached to a handle and that’s what we’d use to smear the cleaner around to cover the whole grill/scrub the cleaner into the grill surface
I came to say this too, some peoples lack of knowledge is insane when it comes to the kitchen
@lifewithadaemon6089 there was a time you didn't possess that knowledge either.......no need to judge
the front edge doesnt see the same amount of heat as the rear. Just turn the griddle top around (front is now the back side) and let it get ripping hot. Should be a-ok after a few seasoning passes.
Clean and season after every use. Just burn off one light coat after cooking. Let it cool then apply another light coat for storage
This is "meemaw's 150 year old cast iron in the dishwasher" energy.
exactly!…..duh
Nah man, at least the 150 year old cast iron can come back from that without major work.
This on the other hand 🤷♂️
Omg it is 😭💀
Granny probably started clawing the casket to get out and grab a switch from the cemetery rose bush to whoop ass.
A few yellow onions a carton of salt some lard good as new in 30 minutes.
My cast iron pans just cracked in the cupboard hearing what happened. Black is gold. Proper care means it cooks well for you 😢
Black stone grills are not cast iron, they're cold rolled steel.
Some people JUST shouldn't be in control of them selves
You can use a handheld torch to get the edges to darken up like the rest of the surface.
Can we have a moment of silence for that poor defenseless Blackstone. Poor thing.
Not many DIY videos make my jaw hang agape from the sheer silliness, but this one did.
Silliness? More like stupidity...
It worked ! She got a couple of hundred thousand views 🤷🏻♂️
Man this lady is determined👍🏾👍🏾
Easy off oven cleaner, leave on 24 hours, wash with ivory dish soap, then 1 part vinegar and 1 part water to remove chemicals from oven cleaner, then wash again with ivory. Now you're ready to season. I use this with cast iron and it works. Never sand it
That was literally like washing a car with a screwdriver. Wow! You completely jacked that grill surface up. Holy crap!!
you’re ok lil bro

I worked at a restaurant that had a flat top. We used cooking oil and a grill brick with the heat on low. It totally works 😊
Totally agree or you could’ve gotten the wire brush for your drill that’s what we use
Try again friend. Get the griddle stone from Blackstone. (Could also get the set with the stone, orange cleaning pads and the scraper) You got this! 🥰
Pick up a pumice stone, or grill cleaning stone, scrub it with that for a while..and use water. Comes out like new.
I've never even grilled once myself and I went "oh no... that is not how you do that..."
Wait.......whaaaaa..??. Well then you better get out there and start. You don't know what your missing.
@@daniastopjik3287 I live in an apartment and they don't let me grill outside :(
genuinely my reaction😭. funny cs i had seen other black stone videos mention a black stone mom that fucked up her grill nd juss _knew_ it was her, didn’t think it’d be thisss bad tho😭😭
The way I just nearly fell out of my chair. Great Mother Goddess WHAT DID YOU DO
I feel you
Oh No!!!! you just KILLED IT!!
I had the same problem with rust. Even after getting it off and re-seasoning it everything stuck. I just gave it away and will never get another one
RIP Blackstone. Sanding a grill with a 1/2" drill is wild 😳😳😳🤣🤣🤣
Lmao people just be so creative 🤣
maybe a roloc 3" would've been way easier relatively speaking of course lol.
"Someone needs to take my blackstone away from me" Truer words haven never been spoken
I don’t think taking the black stone away is the answer I think they should take power tools away from her
You need to borrow an angle grinder with a flap disc attachment. Just did it and then saw some others doing it on youtube. It'll be fine. I'm going to try a wire brush attachment for the corners.
Black stone privileges revoked for eternity!
You can buy just a black stone topper! Love that you are so honest with us❤
thank you for the positivity
If you listen closely you can hear the agony and frustration of thousands of irritated men…
And women. This made me wanna pull my hair out.😂

@HolySchmoltz yes, my husband got me one for my birthday because I requested it. I love to grill on it for meal prepping! Grilled chicken for the week! 😂
LOWKEY I THOUGHT U SAID “BLACK SON” I WAS LIKE WTH.😂😂😂😂
Probably a good idea to take him away as well…just in case
I send it mine with a wire brush on a drill attachment. It worked great
Guys this is called rage baiting. She is getting exactly what she wants from doing this. Clicks and comments.
Thanks! I didn’t know the terminology for these videos. Now I know what to call the videos where they don’t take the labels off the aluminum pans before cooking food😅
Ding ding ding ding
Agree she was going to throw this away regardless before buying a new one.
I came here to say this.
Exactly. She even further baits, by asking if she can buy a new BS Top, but refuses to buy a proper sander.
Total Bull Sh-t
Love your videos. And love watching you cook on your Blackstone. I’m pretty sure you’re going to have to buy a new one. I was nervous watching you do that. You seemed to be taking all your frustrations out on that poor thing 😅
You guys are giving her a lot of hate for it, but that’s what you’re supposed to do to clean your Blackstone. It’s not ruining it.
There is 2 things you can do. #1 use a "strong" oven cleaner #2 they make a popcorn machine cleaner in a can. Just spray it on and wait. Trust me it works
Holy shit you really messed it up 😂
Fast and quick, heat the grill up pour water on it and then Ice cubes, that coating will basically wipe right off with a grill brick.
To restore it. Use distilled vinegar and baking soda with steel wool.
They actually make a griddle restoration kit that does not require sanding, redo mine every spring works like a charm!!!!
Yes love this definitely recommend
Thanks for the tip!
I live in the PNW and refuse to buy another grill due to the rust issues. Does what you mentioned deal with rust for a blackstone?
Are you a woman too?
@NFLHITMAN there's always gonna be just a touch of surface rust,but the restoration kit does help,also be sure to keep your griddle coated between uses
Is this account satire cause there is no way she actually thought that was a good idea
It's not satire.
It has to be, how can a person with no exp to clean grill execute idea that popped in their head. And not research..come onnnn😅😅😅
It’s not satire it’s an engagement stunt.
Just fishing for comments, typical influencer shit. The negative engagement is just as valuable as the positive
@@Izzy-bq1rc never thought people would want to get paid to look like an idiot. Anything to not get a real job I guess.
You can get new tops from Blackstone, pretty cheap too. Tailgater top is only $68
Whaaaaaaa!!!! Lord girl, that is just aweful what you did to that poor thing.
Everyone is saying it's ruined. She mostly just destroyed the seasoning. Simply start over. Wash with soap and water. Use an orbital sander or a wire wheel and take it all the way down to steel. Re-season and it will be perfect! People are commenting like you removed a Teflon coating or something.
The problem is scratching the actual metal. Like putting grooves in it. It will never be flat again. Which is the entire purpose of a flat top grill
All those grooves and scratches are where food particles will concentrate …
Correct. She hasn't ruined it at all, just left some trails. There;'s no way that girl and that drill has enough power to groove carbon steel in thatshort a time. The disc is the way to go, as I have done half a dozen times in 7 years.
Actually, that griddle looked just fine from the get go. If she saw mine, she'd faint.
TIP: Girl. Lose the silicone protective cover. It will defeat any oil you put on the surface to keep rust away by trapping ambient moisture underneath. Just use a couple layers of paper towels as a vapor barrier. The paper willl absorb enough oil lto be a perfect solution. Guns don't come new in box wrapped in oil impregnated paper for nothing.
@insederec Blackstone tops aren't flat anyway even when new
@@JRJStacks I know there is a difference between flat and fair but most people don't know what fair means in this context
Ok as someone who works cooking on blackstone everyday is clean it with a grill brick once a week when using it after you turn it off put some oil on it and scrub then you also season just by putting a layer of oil on it when you finish scrubbing it and it will stay nice but also seasoned
what restaurant do you work at so I know NOT to come and eat at if you only clean the grill once a week. And yes I do work as a cook in a restaurant and we clean our grills daily, as they should be just like anything else that you cook food in.
@@tieryanayou must be stupid or dont understand blackstones. Stainless steel grills yes but grill bricking a blackstone once a week is plenty and might even be over kill
Ice is also a great tool 😎😎
He's talking about a deep clean with the brick not a daily clean. You don't use a grill brill daily and reseason daily. Too funny how ppl don't know how to clean these...watch a video ppl online. Easy to do!
@@TheRich4187 Actually depending on the use. And with 24 hour use 7 days a week our grills need to be "deep cleaned" at the end of every shift. Which is 3 times a day.
Well, she was "special" enough to buy a Blackstone in the first place...
Probably has a nice collection of Stanley cups also.
While seasoning it, take a torch and heat the outside of the griddle
If you call blackstone support number you can by just the griddle top. I bought one recently.
Only problem with that one top coats almost as much as a new black stone
Do you know if you can buy one of the lids like they have on the newer models. The older ones didn't have the lids, but I certainly don't want a whole new grill.
Girl….. GRIDDLE BRICKS!!!!! they work like a CHARM!!!
They make wire brush attachments for your drill that would work a lot easier and be less aggressive than that sanding attachment. Just make sure to wear eye pro
This sounds like a teenage girl giving a book report in high school
It’s crazy to me that people film themselves being idiots, then post it on the internet for millions to see 😂

Think about it. There are a few “secret” strategies that contentors use to increase the likelihood of audience engagement. One is to SAY something that is obviously incorrect in the video so that it practically guarantees someone leaving a comment to correct you.

brillo pads work wonders on cast iron to remove the season, lots of elbow grease and finger power but youll get it clean.
You can purchase a stone from Blackstone that does the same thing as a sander and causes a lot less damage to the surface. Using the drill you way you did has damaged the surface and probably can't be fixed. Elbow grease is better than using the wrong tool.
Girl you fugged that ish upppp 😅😂 something I would totally do
