Mr. G. Brettin's Slow Motion Leg Hump

Ground down the wormy MIG welds, tapped off the seams and epoxy filled them smooth. If you're not a welder, better be a good grinder.

The taping shown below was an unbelievable PITA. Who am I kidding? The whole thing took me all day.

I couldn't get any in between shots of the epoxy because that stuff only has an 8min working time and my hands were covered in epoxy boogers.

If you hate grinding. You will become a good welder.

Did you use a sanding disc to smooth out your weld beads? What's quicker, is using a 4" x 1/8" grinding disc on your die grinder for roughing down. Then use the sanding disc for final.
