That would be great if they were the sort of welds that allowed for them to be ground flat. They are lap joins. And the welds go all perforated if I grind them back too much....... Bloody useless.
Stop acting like you are so hard done by.Several people say its fine to stick the filler over the bare metal, so I do it, and THEN someone comes along and asks this.....
Sigh.....

Treated how..? It was previously sitting in primer, I took it back to bare metal, cleaned it, and then applied filler. I thought filler was best applied to bare metal so it adheres better?
True. I thought that red primer was fairly water resistant? Might be wrong.If your plan is to fill and prime for now, then please remember that most fillers and the majority of primers will absorb moisture if not protected by a top coat.
I am.Stop acting like you are so hard done by.
So then, do I start again and put some primer on first, do I leave it as it is for now, or do I squiz a quick dusting of top-coat onto it and leave it like that, then sort it at a later date...

Modern primers sick to pretty much anything though.
Well, turns out I'm a bit **** with filler, so I'm just skimming the welds with it and sticking two coats of primer on so that the welds are actually covered up, and then will have to rub it back and get someone who knows what theyre doing to help somewhen...![]()
In a few years you'll probably need to cut the repairs out and replace properly
Chances are you'll have to re-do some of it within a couple of years or so.
