Here's what you do: Fill a bucket or container with hot water. Mix in some dish detergent with grease-removing properties (that's most of them). Fully immerse your mold into the solution and allow it to stay there for about 30 to 60 minutes.
You can use white vinegar to remove most of the uncured resin, then use less Acetone to complete the task; used Acetone can he stood overnight in a sealed container (screw top bottle or jar) and re used as most of the crud sinks to the bottom leaving clear Acetone on top.
Beeswax and mineral oil is fine. No matter what you use (I've put many charcuterie / cheese boards through their paces) the finish will wear off and you will just have to live with a fuzzy board, or offer to resand/oil it for her every year(ish).
2. Epoxy would not be a good choice as a finish for a cutting board. Over time it would chip and crack. Some epoxies are safe for temporary food contact if you go the serving tray route.
Resin should be cleaned with isopropyl alcohol and paper towels and disposed in the trash. Resin should not be poured into the plumbing system. Any resin or residue such as from the wash and cure should be left in the sun to cure and then disposed of properly in the trash.
To care for your resin charcuterie board, clean with a damp cloth. Never immerse in water. The wood can be wiped down with cooking oil occasionally if needed.
Epoxy and resin make a hard and slippery surface that will ruin your knives and is unsafe because your knife can easily slip and twist as you cut.
Standard cleaners like Windex and similar products from other brands are excellent choices for use in cleaning epoxy resin surfaces. When it comes to cleaning, epoxy often behaves a little like glass, so a good glass cleaner is handy to have around.
Adding a food-grade oil and conditioning cream will rejuvenate your board. Before applying any oils to your board, it must be clean and dry (see tips above). We like John Boos Block Oil and Board Cream, a mix of oil and beeswax, but any type of food-grade oil or beeswax will work.
Mineral oil: This is a non-drying oil that soaks into the wood, coating the fibers and preventing them from absorbing moisture. It's safe for human consumption and doesn't wash off, making it a practical choice for charcuterie boards.
