If the sharp edges are bad. Then after a front bubble, could you simply take pvc pipe and slit down the length and glue that over the long side sharp edges to round them?

I realize that this might look funky. But a rounded edge made of pvc pipe glued over the sharp edge has to be better than the sharp edge alone. Am I right?
