Hi Spiff,
While I do like Gorilla glue for some applications -
I would give you a resounding "NO!" to use it for
any item to be used outdoors.
I used Gorilla Glue (glued & screwed) a gate for my
wife's garden. In less than a year of sun, water, cold,
wood movement, etc there was no glue left in
the joints. None, zip, zero, zilch.
Never worked with teak. So I can't suggest what
you should use - but can suggest what not too.
Bill-
Spiff, I don't find epoxy to be a pain really. In fact, I'm using it for more and more things, even indoor projects. It's a good hole filler, dries fast, is rock solid, and is water inpenetratable.
