I would like to know as well. I bought 3 pans after someone liked the used pan someone gave me and decided to make it their own.
 

If the dishwasher and sand didnt work, I dont know what will. Maybe brake cleaner, then alcohol?
 

Best way to break in a new pair of boots is to soak them and wear them.

Works on a pan too - just put it to use

Pan the fines into another pan or save them until it is broken in.
 

idk the brand it looks like the trinity without the trap its a blue one chinese made never buy chinese brands ahaha

Try scrubbing it with Comet cleanser. Works for me.
 

my gfather sells it so yea maybe i will
 

Work the pan with 0000 steel wool that has some Dawn (for dishes) in it. Add water and rub in circles. Get it all ..... top side and bottom side of riffles. TTC
