I'm hoping he used Stainless wire?
I've fixed a couple of jobs where normal/carbon steel wire was used on stainless it works and will hold, sometimes for quite a while but along with quickly rusting it will eventually crack along the toes of the weld.
If your going to be blending out the welds use clean fresh abrasives. Using abrasives that have been used on other steels can smear grains of the other steels from the abrasives into the surface of your stainless leaving you with stainless with rust spots after a while.
