Thanks for all the great tips guys. 
So what do you think about this? If I make the plug a good snug fit, would there be any problem with putting a thin coat of glue on the bottom of the dovetail ONLY? Or would the sides show up as "cracks" with changes in humidity without glue holding them?
I've got plenty of two part epoxy and colored dye (bedding compound) but that always shows up as a glossy line. And it won't take any wood stain or finish. It's not a problem when used as bedding material since it's expected. But it does stand out.
My white 'Elmers' glue seems to be thinner than the brown glue. Is it possible to thin out the brown with anything? Water, alcohol.... ?
