Nope. That's fine. It has to be dive at some point. I can't remember if I sanded them I individually or at once.
Before you put the other side sheeting on, double check your glue joints so you know at least one side is truly secure.
And in the other side, don't be shy on the amount of thick CA you run on the ribs, to ensure there's glue on the joint.
If you don't like the quick working time of CA, I've heard others use Elmer's wood glue, down side is it's much heavier.
