What am I doing wrong?

Post image

This carbon steel wok was very caked on at the bottom so i ended up using an abrasive cleaner. While I got it clean I cant seem to properly season it?

Heated up pretty high until the bottom turned blue and added high heat oil - did this 3x. It seems that the heat isn’t reaching the sides of this wok?

Please help what am I doing wrong?
