Edge glue particle board??

I'd think about using a spline
A TS could cut the dado.
Or maybe use a router and biscuit blade to make the grooves, in which case
you'd want some thin wood crosscut into strips so the grain of the spline
would be across the joint.
Or maybe just a bunch of biscuits. I used two rows on 2" pine counter tops.
The router method would probably give the best alignment of the surfaces,
which is important.
Clamp on some straight pieces of 2X4 to keep the surface planar while
setting up.

carpenters yellow or polyurethane glue will work. It wont be the tightest joint
but should suffice.

Why is it that you have to rip and re-glue at all? What's wrong with
using the door as is for a top--it should already be as flat as you'll
get it, so what you suggest doesn't make sense to me. You must have
something in mind that I'm not envisioning.

Curious,
H.

If the Titebond does soak in, let it dry a few minutes and add more
glue. That should give you sufficient holding power.
mahalo,

Regular yellow glue works fine. Just put enough on. Use pocket screws to
hold it together.

With that in mind, try a hardwood spline instead to support the entire
length. About 1/2" into each should do.

You might consider adding dowels for a bit of additional
structural strength.
