Screwed up, seasoning a wok, Ceramic Grill Store

Got a wok from the greatest retailer ever, and now I've screwed it up trying to season it, any thoughts? Do I need to completely scrape it before I attempt to season again? I tried to season without removing the varnish. My bad.
I raise my kids, cook and golf. When work gets in the way I'm pissed, I'm pissed off 48 weeks a year.
Inbetween Iowa and Colorado, not close to anything remotely entertaining outside of football season.

I'm sure other experts will chime in later. I think you can put it through a self clean cycle in the kitchen oven to start over.

Not sure of the finish on the CGS wok, but have done several over the years, some new and some just plain nasty rust. I take a brillo pad and scrub it to death on both inside and outside and then start the oil heat seasoning process. Works well for me.

I think Gary is on the right track....But than so again is Richard...
I would burn it (hight temp. clean) then scrub the hell out of it and start over with the seasoning process.
BTW, I really like to do the first heavy seasonings with lard.
I have had GREAT success with this. -
Just remember, any time the seasoning on carbon steel gets screwed up, you can start over and get it right. All that scrubbing burns calories, too.
I wonder if oven cleaner is a no-no. I hope someone will let us know if it's OK to use. I mean someone who knows, not just expressing an opinion.
I use peanut oil to season, and you have to wipe it literally all off, a thin film will remain. Otherwise you'll burn on little globules of oil around the upper half. Don't ask me how I know.Judy in San Diego -
I have used oven cleaner on very heavily greasy woks to get the original mess off. a few times I have had to spray them a second time, then when the bulk of the goop is off take a brillo and go forward.

Give Tom a call! He's real nice and would most likely have an answer
