Just read that a thin layer of oil for seasoning should feel like you're trying to wipe it all off

I found that tip in a library book from 1972, and it's the best advice I've ever gotten for getting a perfect, non-sticky finish.

My buddy learned that the hard way with a sticky wok last week.

Seriously, is it that big a deal if it's a little sticky?

That old book advice is spot on. I used to get a gummy, sticky layer every single time until someone told me the same thing. The trick is to pretend you made a mistake putting oil on and you're trying to clean it all back off. What's left is the perfect amount. It feels like you're doing it wrong, but it works every time now.
