ive got a spot weld drill, done one and its done exactly the same thing as a normal drill would do.... go straight through. luckily is down low so i will weld it up as neat as i can and paint it with the rest of the floor. this is a right mare, whats the trick to doing it?

only drill the top of the spot weld, not drill through the whole thing

use the spot weld drill, when it's centred, rotate the drill around the centre point, if that makes sense? In a sort of cone shape 
Then use a small pry bar or strong screwdriver and lever it off.
As long as you've nearly gone through at the edges of the weld, it'll ping off.
