I have a TON of cast iron that needs to be restored.
I know there are people out there shouting from rooftops about how this will ruin cast iron, but I personally dont see how if you use the right media. I've tried wire brushing it in the past, but I have too many pieces for that much time and effort, and I dont see myself setting up an electrolysis system, which leads me to sand blasting...
We inherited a large sand blasting cabinet, it came with a huge 100+ lb bucket of a blasting media, but I think it might be too course as it's tiny metal balls. The label has faded and disintegrated off the side of the bucket so I can't tell what it is.
I saw someone tried to use walnut but had little to no results.
What type of media would yall suggest using for cast iron cookware?
