Teak and Holly floor boards

Greetings
I have some teak and holly floorboard that delaminated, these are pretty robust, made by Cheoy Lee in the 80's. The teak and holly part is 5/16" thick and intact, it just separated from the plywood base, still in good condition.
What is the best solution for gluing/bonding them.
Any suggestions are appreciated.

I have just about every kind of glue and laminate, including west system and other polymers in my shot. If I don't have it, I'll get it.

Epoxy is probably the best option. Can you vacuum bag them? Getting even pressure over the entire surface would seem to be a good idea.

Clear epoxy wet sand and varnish. It’s a LOT of work, if the plywood is rotted I’d replace with something modern, a lot less work.

Re: Teak and Holly floor boards

epoxy would be a good choice. you could use wood glue .. easier and more forgiving .. which would be fine unless your floorboards were underwater for any length of time.

My opinion....the WEST epoxy system is your best bet!
