After it's cooled start using scotch brite to work out the discolored area. I've fixed many car and motorcycle header's this way. Just take your time and work slowly.
This is Bomb Making 101, but it is effective, just be careful. The heat causes an increase in psi..........so baby steps.

I know more than one motorcycle friend thats launched a plug and put a hole in a garage wall and one window.......and a couple pairs of knickers.
