S&G: preprepping kit

New member! Just received my Pygmy Osprey Standard. I hope one or more of you can answer a couple preliminary questions for me before I get started. Is it (or is it not) advisable to lightly sand the panels before I start to drill etc. AND - I notice that there are no beveled edges for the kit. Is it okey to bevel the inside edges of the panels? I would think that the sides would hold better and have less of a gap on the outside as the sides get stitched together.
Does anyone have an opinion for me? thanks in advance.
