Hygience glueing a chopping board

If you have some way to make a lot of sawdust (power sander) then do
that, using the cutting board as a source -- it probably could use a
resurfacing anyhow. Mix the dust with epoxy to make a thick paste,
and
work that into the cracks.

Why waste good epoxy by using garbage fillers?
Micro-balloons are the low cost filler of choice.
They fill without reducing strength.

All he needs to do is rip it down the center of the glue line on a
tablesaw (or with a guide and a circular saw) and re-glue it.

Mix some epoxy and micro-balloons to the consistancy of mayo,
then butter both cut surfaces, mush together with hand pressure,
hold in place with spring clmps for 24-48 hours, the remove excess
epoxy and sand flush.
When the board returns to compost, the epoxy will still be in service.
