I'm starting the process of putting back the inner part of the kick and the kick panels on my 52 Also will be hitting the floor and the toe kick when I'm done with the kick panels. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2010 Posts: 66 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jul 2010 Posts: 66 | It depends. You should always have full penetration on butt welds or they may crack later. If the repair is in a place where you want to flatten welding distortion, you'll need to grind both sides before using a hammer and dolly. Otherwise, it's up to your personal preference. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2007 Posts: 725 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2007 Posts: 725 | I was taught that the better the backside is the better the weld is.
Best wishes,
