Thanks for the tip. I was just sanding the places where it had runs to flatten them out before any other coats went on. It worked. I'll be using the epoxy primer as a base only and covering with a more sand friendly primer later.

I didn't really plan on any welding repairs from here on out. I thought I would stick with the body adhesive where it was needed. I know it can be done, but I might find a gas bottle for my welder and give another try. The door repairs have thrown me a curve. The flux core just has too much spatter and heat to mess with on a long straight seam like the door.
