manualy seam welding stainless steel sheet

when seam welding 16ga 304 stainless steel sheets together is it best to leave a gap between the two materials or should they be kept tight together.

----------------------------------------------------

a gap is not necessary for penetration but sometimes a gap helps to let the metal shrink without distorting too much.
