Wood filler to fill gap in box? yay or nay

I would personally mix wood glue and saw dust to fill it, after all thats all MDF is lol
I have never used silicone either, stuff is just smelly and messy.

You put a bead of wood glue down, then dust over it, and push it down, and add more dust, and just keep pushing it down and try to compact it as much as possible. That's what I did with PVC I put in... I cut it with an air saw, so it didn't cut a straight line through the wood, it came out all ****-eyed, so I had to fix it...

I put a shitload of titebond in the crack and turned the box at an angle so it will all seep into the crack and seal it. I used 4 screws on each panel for support as well. After it sets im going over it and the other corners with the wood filler. I did a test on some wood with it and that shits tough so i think itll do good in the corners for that seal-insurance
