sculpting welding marks?

What's the best way to sculpt welding marks? In the past I've just done the clay brush with a very small size/ falloff and just sculpted spirals along the welded wedges. Usually that suits me just find because the welded part is tiny in comparison to the overall model.

Now I'm working on something where the welding is going to be a lot more prominent. Is there a better way to do this or a brush that's floating around?

You can get great results with the Elastic brush, wiggling it around.

if you are using zbrush there is curve weld brush you can find over at zbc in the imm repository thread

I saw this awhile back. What is interesting though is he has a way to mask out and re do parts where you have stopped and restarted the stroke, but you actually get something similar to this effect when you stop mid way through a weld in real life.
