two questions about using weld thru primer, (assuming that proper usage is spraying primer on the backside of two adjoining pieces so that primer covers the bare metal that cannot be accessed once welding is completed);

1. Do you change the weld settings on the welder? It welds terribly with poor penetration. Or do you grind off the primer from the anticipated weld spot? If so, then it's defeating the purpose of weld-thru primer, is it not? it leaves bare metal.

2. After welding is complete, do you grind off the exposed weld-thru primer and replace it with POR-15 or primer of choice?

From what I have seen, people spray it on what will be the 'heat affected zone', and then use a flatened drill bit to remove it from the exact spot where the weld will go, this way keeping primer on the metal that will not be covered by the weld.
