I welded in a good size patch on my bed side and I must have got it to hot. Now I have a spot that's warped. What's the best way to shink the metal back in to shape?

reheat it with the tourch. not real hot just enough so that when you hit it with a really wet water rag it will shrink. do about as many times as needed untill it's back in shape.

I am not sure if this can be over done. I have done it in the past but quite when I though I was close.

I also have cut it with a cutting wheel to reelieve the excess and then when finished wire welded the damage back up and did the necessary body work, filling & sanding.
