I would reconsider using CA glue. I believe one of the characteristics of CA is that it has little shear strength. I have often observed this because I use CA to temporarily hold two boards together (little jigs and such) - glue 'em together and then later just give one board a light tap with hammer trying to shear the glue joint and the boards will pop apart every time. I would highly recommend either a thin epoxy (like West System) or Weldwood (the powdered stuff that you mix with water). The plugs work great - you've got all new pinblock material around your pin.
