Teak - sticks to epoxy?

[admin]

I got a big chunk of teak for free. Question: how does epoxy bond with this stuff? Other than cleaning the handrails on my old Catalina, I've never really done much with the stuff.

I want to use this teak to make new, larger, keel foil guides similar to Loh's. See diagram:

I have had good luck with WEST Epoxy and teak .I wipe teak with acetone prior to applying epoxy

WEST GFlex 650. It's claimed to stick to oily timber.

Thanks fellows. Someone else recommend System Three G-2, which I believe is their equivalent to West G-Flex (which I have already)

I'll give the G Flex a try I guess, although our old pal Mawney Motorsports says don't use teak....use plastic!
