Yes, it does work.
Sometimes the GUI tools are a bit hard to learn.  I recommend playing
and experimenting with them for a while.
Viewing and occasionally editing the save file in a text editor can
also provide insights into how the polygons work.

Eroding slivers is usually pretty easy ... just press the 'k' key over
the neighbouring primitives to increase the clearance until the
slivers disappear.
