"it seems to appeared where they have been soldered together" Do you mean you can see the solder or does a dark stain appear?

A pic would maybe be helpful as if it’s a stain rather than a solder line it sounds more like firestain

Whatever the cause, if it won't polish out, the line can be made into a design feature by turning it into a groove, using first a fine and then a coarser saw blade. Dennis.

I stick with what I posted before. If you can't beat it, accept it.

It would look fine as a groove, which is not difficult to make on a curved surface, with a fine saw bade . First cut towards you to make the grove. Then away from you to polish it. It would be a neat design feature. Dennis.
