Yes.

Epoxy in and of itself has no great strength. You use it to hold things together, which it does quite well.

If you use it to fillet things, you are adding unnecessary weight. Use chopped glass in it as a filler if you need the fillet to add strength.

With an 11cc engine you shouldn't have much to worry about.
