Other than for appearance I was told the weld is stronger if you grind flat the
waste weld metal. Is this because the metal is less flexable and causes stresses around the Heat affected area (HAZ) I ask because some areas on my old rust motor car had places that were hard to get at for grinding. I used a hobby tool to brighten up the metal for welding but the tool isn't strong enough to grind back the metal which means i'll probably have to leave the welds as they are. Any comments? Thanks,
