Glueing in teak plugs

[Peter]

I'm I ok to use a waterproof PVA glue to glue teak deck plugs or should I use something else?

The Boatbuilding College I attended use varnish.

But I got flamed a few weeks ago for suggesting that.

BTW, do you suffer from memory loss?

Def not pva.

Don't use gorilla glue or similar foaming glue it leaves a ring round the plug which is a sod to get rid of.
Ive been using the waterproof PVA and 2 years on its fine.

Dick Larkman swore by varnish

If the plugs are close fitting then use a polyurethane glue such as Pur - but not too much as it expands when curing and if there is a gap underneath the plug it may push it out. Have just used it on teak plugs and there is no ring and very easy to clean the plug flush. Important to get it watertight.
