spot welding bolsters

Hey guys I am using 410 stainless steel for bolsters on a slip joint and the last time I spot welded them when I finished the knife you could see the little dots where they were spot welded. Does any one know what I might be able to do to get rid of this problem, or do I just have to live with it.
 
I saw a video one time where a guy heated up the spot welded bolster to red hot to eliminate the spot from showing. It worked in the video but I haven't done it.
 
Boss is right you heat the bolster up to red hot and cool. This will anneal them so you dont have the heat weld pattern showing up.
