Threaded inserts in particle board

Should I also use Elmer's Carpenter's Wood Glue or Super Glue (cyanoacrylate) to prevent the threaded inserts from twisting/pulling out of particle board?

C/A... Carpenter glue won't really bond to the brass. But C/A will bond
to both particle board and brass making it difficult for the insert to
move at all. you can wick thin C/A in after the fact, or use thick c/A b4 .

Don't think either'll make any difference; if want to try anything, an
epoxy _might_ help a little but I'd guess even that would be marginal at
best.

Thin CA will wick through the fibers and reinforce them somewhat and it
will adhere to clean metal quite well. Wood turners have used thin CA for
years to strengthen weak and semi-rotted wood and it seems to work pretty well.
