If you are talking about regular filler, I agree. When I dig all the lead out of a seam, I smooth it out with a product called Metal 2 Metal by Evercoat. It is a metal-based filler that is VERY strong, cures VERY hard, is waterproof and will not crack. You can also use a fiberglass reinforced filler, but I like the Metal 2 Metal stuff.
