1. Do you use any type of adhesive in addition to the pin? If so, what kind?
2. Is the pin flared at all, or is it only inserted into a slightly larger diameter hole and held in place with the adhesive?

Hello I use various adhesives: cyanoacrylate, epoxy, titebond ... depending on how the wood is. I make a hole, with the wood very close to its final thickness. After countersinking the hole, I rivet the pin. With a small hammer. The expansion of the pin is inside the hole. Then I adjust the thickness of the wood in the sander and the pin is smooth.
