when im doing fillets to avoid the lip i like to check buy wiping away excess flux with my rod, then if i need to feather out the edges i hit em with the torch real quick just enough to wash it out a little.

taking off those shoulders with a file, shop cloth, or bearing scraper is definitely to be avoided!
