My fan has been drying in borax for about 2.5 weeks now. Going to let it sit in the borax for another 3 weeks.  I was certainly not a perfectionist when it came to getting all the meat and fat out.

I want to seal it somehow in 3 weeks when I pull the borax off..  Has anyone just pour two part epoxy over both sides of it and let it cure?

I guess I don't understand your methodology. If you cut out that bone and trim all the meat and fat which you can there's  absolutely no reason for anything other than borax to set it up solid.

P.S. After removing the bone and flesh it will be limp. Borax both sides very well and pin it to a large piece of cardboard. Every couple days rub some more borax into it. Doesn't take it long to set very solid.
