A teak oil will do that, but that does seem too quick.

The only finish that last, stick, and build up on oily woods like teak,
rosewood and cocobolo is Cyanoacrylate(CA) (don't use actual Superglue
it's too thin).

You can google 'CA wood finish' for the procedure. I have not used it on
a boat, but I have been using is for fishing gear (reel seats, and
grips), and wood fishing nets for a couple of years. It's fairly easy to
learn how to apply it as a wood finish.

One warning - it builds quickly and has a thick glossy polyurethane
look. So if you do not like that look do not use it.
