Despite its natural oils, teak usually glues and finishes well, though in some instances it may be necessary to wipe the surface of the wood with a solvent prior to gluing\/finishing to reduce the natural oils on the surface of the wood.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"mainContent-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"mainContent-heading\"\u003ePlantation Teak Grading\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTeak wood comes in three grades:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFEQ:\u003c\/strong\u003e The highest grade of Teak available.
