Kitchen Worktops - Joints

[GarfieldTheFirst]

Hi,

I am fitting my first kitchen worktop as DIY project.

I have cut my worktop Male & Female joints by using router and jig.

The question.....
Do i need to file or sand the cut end of the laminate so a tiny bevel is formed (on the top laminate surface)? so when i push the ends together (& tighten with bots) the colour filler will fill a tiny "grove" or should i leave as cut with the router?

I could not find any info to point me in the right direction, so please would one of you nice people out there can give me an answer.

Thank in advance

If you have neat sharp cut done with a router and jig, it won't need colorfill. Certainly not a groove. The tightening and levelling of the two parts with bolts is critical as well.
