I'm working on an entrance door. After assembling the frame I noticed I had chip out in one corner of my curved top rail. I couldn't believe it - I made three passes and used mock stiles on the ends to prevent just such a thing:

I can think of four options to fix it (one wasn't my idea):
1) because I'm making sidelights I will have an extra piece of sticking that I can trim and fit.
2) I can trim the rail about 1/4" and re-do the stick cut but this will only leave me a little over a 1/16" for trimming the door top (although my door is extra long at the bottom.
3) Cut some sticking from another piece.
4) totally re-make a top rail.
Since I had nothing to lose I did #1:

(actually from a few feet away the fix is not as noticeable as the photo shows)
Any honest opinions/help appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike
