I have a wooden chair with four legs that fit into the seat, with front
and back legs on each side held from splaying out by a fore-and-aft
cross-brace; those two braces are themselves joined by a side-to-side
brace. On one side, the braces have come loose from the holes in the
legs, making the chair rickety. I tried gluing them with PVA glue but
the glue joint broke almost immediately (after letting it set for
several hours).

I don't want to have to unglue and re-glue any of the other joints (in
case I make things worse). What is the best glue to use for sticking a
joint where one wooden piece fits into a hole in the side of another? I
can extract the cross-brace by about 10 mm, but there isn't enough play
to remove the brace totally to line the hole with glue, so I have to
rely on straining the joints to expose as much of the ends of the brace,
smearing glue around the exposed part of the brace (at both ends) and
then pushing it back together.

This one is OK

Drill access holes as required with a small drill (less than 2 mm). A
dremel type drill is useful for this.
