you put it in the hole, you put the screw into it.

glue is not a totally bad idea. Depends on the type.

I often coat things with vaseline,  that I don't want getting stuck to
epoxy, glue, etc.
That way the 'glue material'  forms and hardens,
but doesn't adhere to the thing I wont to be able to remove later.
