Thank you all for the warm welcome.

I follow the procedure posted on MM by Randy Ferguson, who learned the procedure from Wray Schelin. So that is a yes, I grind the proud of the weld down before hammering with a slapper. Johny you also posted this same procedure here, that surely helped.

I haven't seen the weld crack after hammering ...yet. I'm putting my hopes on "cracking welds myth busted"!
