  3. Flatten with a file (might look flat after previous step but may still have topography)
  4. Dress with 60-100 grit on a DA
...the catch being that you must hit the weld and ONLY the weld repeatedly. No mean task for someone whose eyes are failing and hands are getting shaky!
Thanks for the DEETS, though! I'll try to follow these steps next time around!
