Anybody used West Epoxy to bond teak to teak? Tried Gorrilla glue but did'nt hold. Teak must be too dense. Repairing some trim that's only about 1/8 thick.

Teak has a natural oil in it. That's why its good for outdoor applications. Try wiping acetone or denatured alcohol on the area you plan on gluing (on both pieces) and use a waterproof glue.
Resorcinol (sp) is waterproof and works very well for a permanent joint. I've used it extensively in teak woodworking.
DAP WELDWOOD Resorcinol Waterproof Glue is a high performance, two component adhesive designed to provide the strongest, most durable bonds in severe service application. Once cured, Resorcinol withstands continuous salt or fresh water immersion, outdoor exposure, tropical or sub zero temperatures.
DAP WELDWOOD Waterproof Resorcinol Glue is designed to laminate structural wood beams, also provides durable bonds on a variety of porous and semi- porous materials such as wood, particleboard, leather, cork, concrete (cured) and crockery (unglazed).
