Many posts to this BBS have cautioned against using teak and similar woods because the oils inhibit bonding. Has anyone ever tried G2 by Industrial Formulators (Canadian). Following is from their literature.
"A particularly versatile adhesive because it is formulated for oily, dense, and acidic woods and can modify the mixing ratio to achieve varying balances between tensile strength and flexibility. Glues teak, cocobolo, and all other exotics reliably, with a waterproof clear glue line. Bonds like or dissimilar materials, including all woods, metals, glass, ceramics and many plastics. The standard 2:1 mixing ratio provides excellent tensile strength; increasing the amount of part B to a maximum of a 1:1 ratio provides sufficient flexibility to laminate materials for archers' bows and other extremely flexible objects. The higher concentration of part B also provides great impact resistance and the ability to withstand the stresses of differential expansion rates between dissimilar bonded materials."
