Peel the right plank up a bit and put small wedges under it until the right plank is level with the left plank. Then fill under the raised plank where the now-gap is, and paint touch up? | |

Want a very slight ramp so both edges match together. A long ramp(8 to 12 inches) will be hard to see, A 4 to 6 inch might be okay also. | |
