Rocky, I learned a trick from Duke McCaa. He has a guy that can fix cracks in natural material better than anyone I have seen.

He fills the gap with pigmented epoxy, in this case black, which makes the last spacer look thicker, but fills the gap. I have done a couple and it's a big improvement over the gap.
