What destroyer said, teak is oily, you can cut it by wiping the wood down with thinner.
Me, I like the teak, so I just wipe it down & then varnish with Urethane or Epiphanes, no oil, that stuff is for yachts. I expect one will last about as long as the other.

Acetone works fine, I've used other more green solvents & they seem to work well to. The trick is to wipe is then paint quickly, if you leave it for a day, oil will migrate back out to the surface.

I wouldnt think paint over teak is gonna hold up all that well. Maybe wipe it down with acetone a couple good times then thin some poly resin or epoxy resin and hotcoat your item. Then lightly sand, prime then paint. Just my opinion. The hotcoat Will keep that oil from lifting that paint. I laminate teak speargun blanks up and the west systems works great.

If you want durable Kracker Jack's Idea is a....... kracker jack! (sorry about that)
Seriously though. Hot coating epoxy leave one heck of a touch finish.
