Removing material on wing skin overlap

I removed the material per 16.2 to get the wing skins to lay even with .032 stock for the fuel tank. While going through this the skin got really thinned out and rolled over on the leading edge. I removed the rolled over spot and ended up with this.

I assume there will not be any issues beside it not looking as good as I would like it?

Additionally when you are seaming this edge did you continue over this very thinned out spot? Also do I need to worry about anything while dimpling the very thin metal.

Thanks again guys.

I did roll over the edge- from end to end. However, I did not have the same issue. When I removed the material as directed, the corner was left intact; only material on the bottom side of the top skin was removed but corner was not rounded. I am not qualified to determine if this will be a problem. Perhaps someone else will chime in.
