Can't comment on Rage filler but you should be able to get the epoxy to feather in without too much trouble. Preparing the surface to be filled properly is important as many problems can be caused by poor adhesion.
Cannot be sure exactly what is going on in your case but from what you describe it sounds like the edge of the filler is chipping off leaving the 'step' you describe? If this is the case the filler probably isn't bonding properly, possibly due to the underlying surface not being scuffed and cleaned sufficiently.
The area to be filled needs to be sanded back or roughened to the point where it looks quite dull with a surface texture that looks not unlike fine sandpaper. I commonly use 120 -to 300 grit sandpaper to achieve this. All you are trying to do is removed any surface contaminants and glossy surface, giving the filler something to 'grab' on to. Don't worry about any scratches left in the surface by the sanding process, they will be taken care of by the filler.
When done, vacuum or wipe the dust off with a clean dry rag. Do not wipe it with any solvents and do not wipe your hand over the freshly sanded surface. Even the oils from your skin can be enough to contaminate the surface and affect the bonding.
Apply the filler, let cure and sand/fair to shape. Hint: you will find it easier to sand the epoxy/micro filler to shape after it has cured but before it has fully hardened. Takes a little experimenting to judge the best time to do this but once you have it figured out sanding and fairing will be a lot quicker and involve much less bad language
.
Another hint: On flat or moderately curved surfaces I sometimes use a small flat block of wood no more than about 2"-3" square and about 1" thick as a sanding block. With finer sandpaper wrapped around, it is small enough to have complete control but just large enough to fair edges nicely.
Finish with a high build surface primer and prep for paint.
Best of luck with it.
