Barge boards, gap to slates

beggars_bush

Currently replacing timber barge boards on ends of a cottage. There is a gap between the new barge and underside of slates. (Nothing on cottage is straight, maybe I didn't notice previous gap when looking at it from the ground)

Any suggestions for a product to close/deal this gap? Barge boards are now temporarily screwed in place

Can you scribe the gap take the boards down and cut them for a better fit? Youtube has some videos this explains the basic idea.

No. The barge is already cut and if I take anymore off it, the pattern won't match together at the apex of roof

Is there room to plant on another piece and scribe that. But as above pictures needed ;-)

No. It's not a big gap, just I don't think silicone will fill the space

The side of house is SW facing so it gets plenty of rain/wind

Is there a fill product in a tube (not expanding)
