Reseasoning panic #1. The rust removal gel wasn't a gel when I opened it. This wouldn't have been a problem if I'd found this out BEFORE I SCRUBBED clean the comal. And I didn't want to reseason it with the rust patches. But I couldn't just LEAVE it.
Found another de-rusting technique using water and vinegar, so the comal is soaking in that right now. Hopefully that will do the trick.
If not, I'll just reseason it with the patches and try again next year with de-rusting gel. And this time CHECK the gel before I start.
@andyy - Comal is the word for "griddle" in Spanish. :)

@dolari no me digas eso! No sabia!
@dolari now I know why my Puerto Rican wife never told me the river we were floating on meant griddle. They don't say it that way over there. I thought she had been holding out on me!
@andyy - It might be less "Spanish" for griddle, and more "Mexican" for griddle.
@dolari is it named after the river or is that just a coincidence?
