I welded for 15 years, when I owned my farm and was building my greenhouses. Best welds are clean. I recommend , as do the others, that you grind away the old weld and start from a clean surface to assure the weld is solid. I was shocked when I saw the footage from the rollercoaster ride where the column and welds are imperfect and failed! Hair-raising!
