Default Should I Edge Form/Seem the top and front edges of fuse side skins??

This could apply to all models. I just finished prepping all my fuse parts, getting ready to cleco the skins back on for rivet and flip of the canoe.

Debating whether to Edge Form/Seem the top edge of the fuse 770 skin where it rivets to the longeron and also at the FWD firewall edge. Sheets are not overlapping but resting on angle....Seems to make sense to me?

Its a good idea to do this on both butt joint and overlap skins.
