Hi Barry, many others including ourselves have
successfully used epoxy glues with teak. It was often too oily
for the glues we used to use which contained formaldahyde (not
sure if that's the right spelling), such as Aerodux and Cascaphen
etc. Although it usually worked reasonably well with the substitute
Iroko. And it definitely didn't work with the waterbased Aerolite
and Cascamite. (Or the foul smelling stuff we originally used
made by boiling down horses and cattle...ugh). I am pretty sure
there is a close-up picture of a Mk2 Fijian with a teak veneered
deck I surveyed in the Med. In the 'gallery' section of either
the Hartley or ferroboats websites. regards
