Â*Finish it off with 320 on a random orbit sander . Should get enough
curl on the edges to buff it up the sides just a bit . My 12" Lodge is a
little rough too , but not enough that I'm going to smooth it - just
checked , the Lodge 10" x 16" griddle is quite rough too . I think they
just sandblast them now instead of polishing them as they did in the
past .Â* Both my 9" Wagner and a 10"Â* unbranded one ("made in USA" and
about 45 yrs old) are polished , the "Country Girl" 8" that came with a
set of pots is pretty rough , looks like a totally untouched (fine
grain) sand cast .
