I have a stucco-sided house that I am repairing/repainting. In the course of repairs, some of the caulk/weatherstripping between the trim and the house came off. The gap between the wall and the trim is fairly large -- at least 1/2 inch.

What's the best way to fill that gap? It seems too wide for a bead of caulk. But the product I pulled out of there doesn't seem like weatherstripping.

I have added a picture below. The first gives a reference of what we're looking at. The second is a closeup. The third is for a reference as to how big the gap is. I am a normal-sized human.

For reference
