I always use med or thick CA glue and twist the tube as it goes in and never ever have them stick halfway in nor come unstuck I do allow a few Min after drilling to allow the wood to cool before gluing so that the heat from drilling wont be present to activate the glue to quickly as for gap filling well I have to agree with Brian right size drill and tube what is there to fill do the job properly and you wont have any problems rest assured if you drill wood one day and try to fit the tube the next day then you will have problems and that is probably the only reason your tube stuck part way in nothing to do with your choice of glue
