Do I need to start over or can this be salvaged?

Also this might be off topic for this community as this is a carbon steel pan (Merten & Storck).
This sentiment is worth spreading. Cast iron pans were around long before anyone knew what a polymer was. You can get a -good- seasoning coat from just regular use. Active seasoning can give you a -better- one, but pans have lasted decades and generations on just the seasoning gained from cooking.
