Yes but the first skim i mix the filler with a fiberglass mix as i find this works better and may fill any pin holes in the weld that are left

excellent stuff love the attention to detail on your car!

When you weld new metal in, do you try and do it in one go?

I'm not convinced on this mod. Sometimes less is more. You can't keep adding stuff to the car ad infinitum.
