Default I can't believe I don't know this - teak bungs

What is the proper adhesive for holding teak bungs in so they can be
dug out again if you want to remove the trim? I can't believe I've
spent a life around boats without having this answer right at hand.
Too much steel and aluminum.


Since they aren't structural almost anything will do. I've found
"Weldbond" to be as good as anything. I don't particularly like
polyurethanes like "Gorilla glue" because of their tendency to foam up
while setting, and mixing up epoxy just to use a few drops is
wasteful. Removing the plug intact is almost impossible of course. I
usually split them with a tap from a small wood chisel.
