Sounds like you got one of them Americanized woks that have a film on them
to prevent rusting prior to sale. Toss the old one (drill a buncha holes in
it and use it in your K ...fer something and go to an old dusty Chinese
or Japanese store with plain ol' steel woks and start over. They aren't that
expensive.

I agree that it sounds like one of the cheap coated ones...Bought a few of them
in the 70's...
But, no need to toss them in my experience. I just sanded the surface, and
started seasoning again, and everything was fine,
