Dave, I'd say weld between the welds that you've already done, chip off the slag, then clean everything up with the grinder and then do a nice slow pass moving the rod from side to side in a zig zag fashion then chip off the slag and you should have a nice wide bead or at least some meat you can regrind to make it look more presentable, if that's what you desire.
