What sprayable finishes apply to new teak?

We are building exterior cabinets out of newly planed and sanded teak. We have bleached it and sanded it. What are our sprayable and quickest options?

You have numerous options. first I assume that you do not want to cover up beautiful wood with a paint. A teak oil ⇦ this on eBay or Amazon [affil links] finish is nice, but takes a lot of upkeep. You might try a product like clear Thompson's WaterSeal [affil links]. An exterior grade polyurethane would seem like a good choice to me.
