If they go in a blind hole, saw a slot in the end that goes into the hole.
Insert a small wedge in the kerf such that when you tap them into the hole,
the wedge is forced in. A little glue along with it and they're there for
life.

I am using some coat pegs that measure 0.493". That is a pretty sloppy
fit
in a 0.500" hole, but other than hoping I can find an undersized drill
bit,
I am not sure what to do about it.
Presumably the glue will swell the pieces a bit; but will it be enough for
a
secure installation?
The pegs are a bit too expensive to waste one on a test.
