It only works on stuff so big though.

exactly how I do it. When I had one of those 1/4" gaps from 2.5" - 3" I just centered the pipe in the flange as much as possible and did this method. Came out rather nicely.

it doesnt leak, its smooth inside, there is nothing wrong with it just looks like *** from the outside. it wouldnt flow any better if done the other way, it would just use more weld.
