Youve got a lot of conflicting advice here, so who's do you chose, for what its worth I'll ad mine.
I've glued up tuns of teak probably 4 or 5 tuns including cockpit tables,
Epoxy is the glue of choice if I want it to stay stuck
Prepare the surfaces by sanding against the grain with 80 grit paper, then wipe vigorously with acetone on a clean rag.
Knock up the epoxy of choice using colloidal silica and microfibres, fairly sloppy if a good joint, stiffer if it isnt.
Don't clamp or screw it too tight or you'l starve the joint,
Scrape of excess glue using a chisel shaped soft wood scraper.
Sand 120 then 240 grit, 2 coats of epoxy coating, sand again 240 grit then 4 coats alkyd varnish of choice.
Then make a cover for it.
