I know nothing about any of this, but could one put the epoxy on a large flat surface and then put the wood on top face down?
Probably wouldn't work /shrug
I bet it would squeeze out around the edges. Since there's air in the voids/checks, the resin won't have a way in. You'd be left with a thin layer covering the voids but not filling them, so as soon as you sand it flat the voids reopen
The downside to that is the epoxy would only be surface level. You'd want to fill any cracks/checks entirely, and pouring it into the hole or flooding the whole slab would be the best way to ensure that
