I filed the edge down to a taper from about 4 inches from the corner. How much material you remove was a question I had at the time also. You have to have enough skin there to make a good dimple for the rivet. I think I removed about 1/3 of the skin thickness if my memories serves me. Don't spend much time on on it.
