WH6, what radius roundover bit for 1/4" ply

What size roundover bit is appropriate to use with 1/4" BB ply? Want the edges to be as "soft" as possible. Is a 1/4" radius bit too much?
Just the outside edges and port/hand hole. Don't want to bullnose the mouth.
Thanks guys

Hey Seth,
Rather than a round over, I'd be inclined to Aris the wood (ie knock the edge off with a plane) then sand to suit.
Far to easy with 1/4" ply to take to much with a round over, and it's hard to put back again...

Even using a 3/8" radius only reduces the minimum cross section at the joint by 1/16". A 1/4" radius doesn't reduce it at all.
