Absouletly not. A wood filler filet will have no strength. The epoxy fillet has tremendous bonding capability, flexability and strength. Those wood fillers are fine for filling a crack or ding the same as you could use colored wallboard compound. They get captured by the crack and furnish no structural strength whereas the filet of epoxy is a necessary structural ingredient.
