I will be making 3/8 teak plugs to insert into counterbored holes, to cover screwheads. Is it better to use a wood glue, or is 5200 adheisive sealer better? I want to be able to remove them if I had to.

Its not a good idea to varnish teak wood. The oil bleeds right through.

after 35 years of fine carpentry, use elmers white glue, and immediately clean any excess with damp rag. this will not leave a glue mark on the surrounding wood. then oil or varnish.
