Caulk could be used but it simply wouldn't adhere well after a while because all of the movement. Caulk is elastic and deals with small incremental changes. Big back and forth changes... yea it can take a few but after so many it will break down. | |

For the rest of us, you've got to point it out before we notice them. I had to look 3 times before I noticed that little gap on the 2nd riser from the top of the pic. It really doesn't look that bad. | |
