Ahh, yes, good ol' flex track that pulls apart as you try to bend it around a curve -- nearly all of us have been there and done that at one time or another. A 1/8 inch gap is pretty much to fill, though. Automotive body putty or a product called Squadron Green Putty could probably fill a gap that large. After it dries, it can be carefully filed smooth so it's not too obtrusive. If you don't have any of these products laying around, you could also try some Durham's Water Putty, which should be available at any home supply or hardware store.
