Since it is only a minor cosmetic issue why not just leave it like that?
If you quest for too much perfection it might be the next owner that
finishes the airplane. You are the only one who will ever notice the
1/8" and I guarantee that you will forget about it. Take a close look at
a new Cessna as they sure aren't perfection either.

Dead calm and smooth this morning so I did 4 practice engine failures to
touchdown including one on climb out. With the smile still on my
face I can't recall any of the aesthetic imperfections in my plane. A
lightly snow covered runway is even better than landing on grass :)
What a blast and the tach only accumulated 0.1 hours...
