Failed griddle seasoning

griddleseasoning

I have a viking stove in a house I recently purchased. It has a griddle, I cleaned it with a grill stone using oil while it was cold (the griddle). It cleaned well. Next, I used flax oil to season it. I have never done this before nor have I owned a griddle. I watched several youtube videos. I turned the griddle on to medium heat spread flax oil with paper towel on it. I allowed it to burn for about 10 min, the smoking stopped, allowed it to cool, I then did it again, this time I got distracted and the heat was left on for about an hour, when I checked it the edges looked black (although scattered and uneven, nothing like what I see on the youtube videos). The middle area (scattered) had an appearance that I burned the oil. Some areas look like a thick and hard. It looks nothing like what I saw on the videos. How do I fix this

WWGD? (What would Grandma do). To avoid uneven seasoning, best to wash it all off as much as you can and start the seasoning process all over again.
