is this a joke thread, its not april 1st is it
to be blunt its not worth trying to tidy up welds that just sit on top of the steel as they just dont have the strength they are supposed to have.
if the welds dont penetrate then turn up the voltage a little and back off the wire feed until you get the results you want.
as for trying to make the welds look something they are not with the putty stuff thats just bad advice and a waste of money. if an mot inspector gets any hint of it they will fail it and you will have to re weld it all again showing it has been done right
