I sanded down a bit.

That's the key. I sufferred for 20 years with a cast iron pan that barely worked. I always assumed it needed one more coat.

Eventually I gave up, sanded it with 220 grit, cleaned it with acid to remove any rust, then immediately coated with oil and started seasoning process . It's like the teflon that everyone said cast iron could be and I thought they were exaggerating.
