When I used to weld at a bike manufacturer (mind you, the thickest stuff we did was .065 and .083 - but 99% was 0.035 or 0.049) we would always use a belt sander to make it sharp, and then a buffing wheel to take out imperfections - and we'd leave it sharp. But mind you we were welding relatively thin stuff...
When I work on car junk, I just sharpen it with a belt sander and go to town. Just don't use a grinder or it'll weld like shit. Just sayin'. Sander>Grinder - Sander will be way smoother.
