I had to pick between vegetable oil and flaxseed oil for my new skillet's first seasoning

Went with flaxseed oil after reading a ton of forum posts, and now 3 months later the seasoning is flaking off in weird patches, has anyone else had that happen with flax?

Flaking seasoning isn't really a huge deal just cook more.

Oh man, I actually saw a video about this the other day. A cast iron expert was saying the flakes are usually just carbonized oil and won't hurt you, but it means the seasoning layer was too thick. He suggested wiping off excess oil with a paper towel before putting it in the oven, not just coating it thick. Guess I've been doing it wrong too.
