How much material should I remove

Can someone tell me how much material I need to remove from the wing skins were they meet together to make the transition smoother at the forward spar. Anybody have pictures of this they would send me???
 
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.
