Can you elaborate on how bad of a problem this was? Did they warp a few thousanths, or turned into ellipses? I'm trying to compile as much info on problems as possible so we may avoid them should we decide to move to welded.
Additionally, if you pop a weld in competition, whats the best way to fix it? Carrying a TIG welder in with us is not especially convienient.
