Trying to fix issues on this trident maple

[Benny w]

Ive posted this tree on here before and have done a lot to it since. It recieved a much needed repot and root work/corrections, branch removal a few months ago that I've been hesitant to do. Will help the futire design. I alsp chopped off the huge reverse taper issue at the apex. I bought the nibbler for my dremel and this bit is freakin awesome. Just trying to do my best and understand its difficult to critique one's work from pictures but my question is should I put epoxy in this area that I've worked with the nibbler so when the new wood rolls over it will have a little bit more raised surface which will help speed up tbe process and look cleaner. When viewing live this chop doesn't seem as wide and looks like tbe transition will be consistent with no reverse taper but in the pictures the chop looks wide where there will be reverse taper.
The first 2 branches I cut and having trouble with bringing myself to fix the inevitable ( it was hard to cut them at all since the trunk is so nice on this tree imo). Going to thread graft and make a new branch at the bend before the buds swell next year. And in the meantime finish correcting the issues and cuts ive started for which I cant go back now.

I would not fill that chop. Callus usually grows thicker than the new layers of wood nearby so that hollow will probably fill up as the new bark rolls over it.
Epoxy fill is usually used where the wood has rotted out and there's a deep hole or soft wood that the new bark cannot grow over.

I think I figured out why in the past most of my chops rot out. The dew never had anywhere to go. So i end up having to seal it so I figured why not just start out by filling in part of the chop and leaving a depth of 2 match heads for the callus to roll over. Aim is for the callus to be flush with the wood from where it was cut. Just as long as no under moisture is caught when its sealed then why would it matter? As long as enough room is left on top for the callus to roll over i guess is my question is there really any harm in treating the wounds from big chops like this?
How do you treat wounds after sawing off large branches or the apex?

You can just cover with cut paste.
