On one I had a couple of layers that wouldn't weld .I peeled the top one 
off , spread and cleaned the interior one and got it to weld,drew it out 
and ground one side,cut and folded. It welded right up. The main problem 
was that I didn't have a striker then and have since then  built a power 
hammer. It's real nice not having to reattach my arm after every session.
