December issue of Fine WW had an article on gluing oily woods like teak,
rosewood, cocobolo. One of the practices is to wipe the wood with
solvel(laquer thinner, etc) immediately before gluing up. I know this is
the method West epoxy resin recommends for teak in boat work.


the problem with sol;vents is the can bring up the oils. gorilla glue is far
easier to use.
