Default Wing in Saddle

Well .. I am soooo close to finishing my 1st plane. However, the wing isn't quite sitting in the saddle (perfectly). There is a small gap running about three quarters of the length of the wing in the saddle (both sides). Also, there is a gap between the bulkhead on the body and the leading edge of the wing.

I was thinking of using some scrap balsa to close the gap between the leading edge and the bulkhead. I was also thinking of using some silicon sealant to close the gap on the sides.

Would this be a good way of rectifying the problem?? Or does anybody have any better ideas?? Lastly, if I do use the silicon sealant to close the gap, should I do it before I skin it (hence applying skin over the sealant) or after I have skinned the plane??

Thanks,

Dan
