The filler is just to thicken it enough to keep it from 
running out onto the floor. It's mostly for me, because it 
feels more controllable. It may very well not be necessary, 
but it puts the stuff into a viscosity range that I find 
familiar and comforting, so I continue to do it this way. 
Strength is, I think, not an issue since the joint is most 
likely way beyond the minimal requirements whatever you add to 
the epoxy. It is, after all, pinned with 230+ impediments to 
sheer failure, which ought to count for something.
