That's exactly what my opinion is. I am even unwilling in some cases to come back and add more weld to some low spots because I don't want to add more heat. I have been considering using some silicon bronze filler wire to fix these little imperfections. Uses a little less heat and finishes more easily. Although I would never use it for structural work. Thanks for confirming my thoughts John.
