westend, I will check on "organic filler". The only type of filler I know of is HD/Lowes wood filler which might be "oil base" which I understand is a no-no with EPDM.
Weldon, I originally planned on using duct tape only around the perimeter of the roof and the sheetrock plastic tape on the joints. I removed all of the decking so the whole roof is new plywood and all level. The original 1/8" luan went under the front aluminum and was flush on the back. It has now been installed the same, only 3/8" higher (thicker). I don't see any problems with the extra 3/8" affecting my "plywood-aluminum-EPDM" installation. I have feathered the edges around the perimeter so there are no sharp edges of plywood but I still plan on using duct tape as extra protection.
