Using epoxy is just plain wrong for a cutting board. Mainly, the hardness of the epoxy will destroy a knife edge, might as well cut on a brick. If the end user is using ``beater'' knives, like Cutco, he might be okay for a while but the epoxy will destroy an edge.
Epoxy resin is not heat-resistant at all. Your cutting board might warp, the resin might crack, and it may even release some toxic fumes from high temperatures, which may result from hot pots or pans resting on the resin surface area.

Epoxy isn't suitable for a board that will have knife work on it. Even fully cured the epoxy will chip leading to micro plastics getting into the food.
Restaurants, butcher shops and, as I learned, culinary schools, use boards made from either high density polyethylene or polypropylene which are opaque and white. Their surfaces usually have a subtle, slightly grainy texture, which helps prevent a knife from slipping.
