Very true. You dont wanna put a talc based filler down over a weld seem ever. Tiny little holes in the welds will let moisture in and will make the filler fall out eventually. Always cover a weld seam with a fiberglass first. I prefer Dynaglass for that. Knock it down with 36 grit then cover it with your filler. I prefer evercoat. You can start off with 36 on this step, but when your getting close to the shape your looking for drop down to 80. The coat it with a light weight self leveling filler. The product i use is called dolphin glaze (awesome). Knock that down with 80, 180 lightly in the filled areas and work it into the exsisting paint. Any question just lemme know.
