So I should go back over the undercut areas and add some filler rod and then rework the distortion if there is any? I was wondering if I should do that I just didn't want to cause anymore problems

Noob here as well
What do you guys think about O/A welding the divots with a soft malleable filler, proper hammer work & planish

Mig is a good way to fill in the undercut from the weld.... so is adding filler rod with the tig.

I figured I'd use my tig to fill the undercut, I need the practice with my tig any ways

You can always braze or solder too if you just want to be rid of the blemishes but as it's not structural why not throw it at the paint shop and let them disappear it?
So easy to see it as your failing when it's bread and butter to another trade who'll enjoy showing you how they got rid of it - let them do the work. Will

Just use 0.6 or 0.9 mig wire as your tig filler rod to fill them. Less heat needed to melt the rod.

It came out better, I still need lots of practice, as I think my skill set is my limiting factor. It seems like the last little bit is the hardest. Good thing this fender is for my personal car because it took me for ever to get to this point
