Plumb Confused

I'm looking for advice on hooking up my brand new cast iron kitchen sink. It's an undermount double-bowl which my counter contractor put in. Now that it's in under the counter (installed on rails) I am trying to hook up a garbage disposal to the smaller bowl.
The problem is that the enamel process has dripped down through the sink drain on the disposal side and has a bump approximately 3/16 inch below the sink drain opening. How can I get a good seal under these conditions?
The part that hangs down is only an inch to an inch and a half long so there is a noticeable bump below the bottom of the sink drain opening. I don't want to do anything to remove the enamel that could expose the cast iron and allow a rust out spot to start forming before the sink even begins to be used. Anyone ever encountered these problems? Is this something quality control should have caught at the factory, or is it just a trivial problem? I'm a plumbing newbie so I just don't know which way to get around this problem at this point.
