This isn’t seasoning. This is painting on a layer of polymerised oil. You may get good results but it’s a different technique to fully saturating the iron with liquid oil.
Heating while you do it makes a convection pattern that hinders the process. Air drying for a few days between coats works better but, again, traditional seasoning by regularly oiling (using) the pan is more trad for iron / steel.
For oak though, drying oils that produce a polymerised surface make a fantastic finish. Add thistle oil, sunflower oil and soya oil to your flaxseed (linseed) oil, or just buy this:

- wiz21c 5y agoIs this polymerisation thing a proven fact ? Is this chemically right ? I saw that quite often but nobody ever sounded like a chemist, so I'm a little scared of burning oil in my cookware...
