Some use hot melt.I normally use a good epoxy like JB Weld.Either one can be removed by heating.

Put mine in with Gorilla Super Glue.  Put a dab on the back end, then twist them in.  Could actually feel it drying up and holding tight as I kept twisting...  No problems yet

Hot melt.  The advantage is it's strong and can be removed as needed.

I've used the Bohning hot melt on aluminum for 41 years with no problems for my personal use. I've worked in a couple of pro shops over the years and the owners had us use 24 hour cure epoxy.

Used hot melt for years on wood and aluminum but switched to 2-ton (2-part) epoxy about 10 years ago and find it holds much better, especially in cold weather.
