Those welds look pretty sketchy. A good weld would penetrate the metals enough to fuse them together.
I'd grind them flat enough for the decals to lay flat, but no more than that.
You can absolutely grind those no issue. Someone just got a bit over done on the wire lol. Even a simple dremel can fix that.
that mech is made with folded tabs and insert tabs, not full seam welds. Grinding that flat you risk removing all the tab and losing the only spot that is actually from second piece that is welded.
Quoted from scampcamp:Ok... so basically I could grind the high spots almost flat & be ok?
You need to see if the weld is through to the second piece more than the spot you are removing.

Quoted from pins4u:"Can Weld Spots be Grinded Flat?"
No, but they could probably be GROUND flat.....
Thanks Karen
