- Use a resistance spot welder where access permits. Try to ensure weld quality by using a welding monitor where possible.
- MIG tack weld butt joints and re-check alignment and panel contours where necessary. Ensure that a gap is maintained to minimise welding distortion, by inserting a hacksaw blade as an approximate guide.
- Dress MIG tack welds using a sander with 36 grit disc, or a belt-type sander where access is limited.
