Erik, do you know any ways to control shrinkage like that? I don't, but I'd like to. I just think about these welders here who make multi-pass stringed welds on ships and submarines that are made of a spec made steel alloy armor plate, typically 1" for the outer hulls, sometimes vastly thicker. On modern build, the plates line up perfectly. On WWII era stuff, the plates look puckered like a patchwork quilt. I sure would like to learn how to control that shrinkage.
