Wrong move
Direct answer
The risky shortcut is blending a defect away without recording why and how it was repaired. Weld repair documentation can include location, defect type, repair authorization, method, welder, WPS, inspection/NDE results, and acceptance disposition.
How to use this answer
Read the answer once, then prove it by choosing an answer in a practice question before looking at the explanation. If the miss repeats, tag the domain as Repair control and drill a smaller set before returning to mixed practice.
