If all you have done is weld two (multiple?) pieces together, then the only thing that could have happened is that shrinking from welding has occurred. You don’t fix shrinking with a shrinking disc. You need to stretch (planish) the weld to restore the original crown and get rid of the shrinking that occurred when the welds cooled. Do you have pictures showing where you welded and where the oil can is??
