Don't sweat the petty stuff.

You're only filling cracks, not encapsulating a complete board.

Your problems, if any, will be limited to heat build up causing the
resin to fire off and foam resulting in a defect which you will have
to grind out and replace with new material.

This can be avoided by limited your fill to 1/2", let cure, then fill
again
with in 24 hours, building up as you go.

Forgot to ask, are you planning to glue these wide boards together
forming one large board, or do you plan to just butt the board edges
together and attach to the under structure?

I could see how you could butt the rough edges together, then fill the
cracks formed by the boards with black epoxy.

Have fun.
