You can also just hit the back of the nut with a drop of thin CA, or apply a drop medium CA to the nut flange before inserting. You really don't need much adhesive to set the nuts if the nut is inserted well. Use a bolt with washer to drive the barbs of the nut into the wood. The nuts seat better if you bevel the hole in the wood, i.e. look at a blind nut... note the fillet where the flange meets the body. You need to make room for the fillet otherwise the nuts never seat on the flange. I suppose you could over drill the hole, but I believe you get a better fit by beveling the hole. I never worry much about adhesive on the threads. I of course try to avoid that situation, but it is no big deal if it happens... that is what taps are for. Cheers.
