    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    paint the stringers to hide the shadow of where the bull nose should be , use some masking tape for sqeeze out control and pump full of DAP white caulk and call it done. Sawdust/filler and stain or finish mixed in will look like dog poo jammed in there .
