I'd melt it down and recast it.

Usually with cast iron if I damage the seasoning at all this is my workflow.

I usually put it back into the molden Earth core to melt it at its origin temperatures. Just like mother nature intended it.

Wait really? I thought sandblasting was extreme.

That's...no one recasts cast iron. That's so expensive and time consuming for such a cheap material.

There are people that take cast iron so seriously I thought this was a new level. Plenty of people with the time and money on their hands too.
