Rudder troughs

Dear Einsteins of E-glass,

Well, the garage will be up specs in a few days, so I'm thinking about
doing some rudder work.  Looking past the first lay-up, I see I'm to dig
two troughs along the root and tip, up from the trailing edge.
Question:  how far inward from the edges are the troughs' outer walls?
The diagram seems to show some foam on both sides of the trough, but I'm
not sure if I'm reading it correctly.

Please don't rush to answer, I've made a mess of my first Euro Chock, so
there's time aplenty.  (I over trimmed the bid before the lay-up and
came up well short on the sides.) Ah, well.
