>> I've tried teflon film, backed up by clay, to stop CA glue from running into the bore. It worked to a some degree, but the CA glue wicked to the extreme edge of the teflon film by capillary action. <<
That's why I suggested a layer of foam. Maybe cork would work too, like a tenon, though I think I'd prefer the gentler push of foam. Clay doesn't flex like that and the idea was that it pushes towards the body slightly from the inside. Also possible to put some grease on the teflon, just a thin layer not enough to get into the crack but to seal even better. There should be no crack between the plug and body for the super glue to go through. I considered tape too but it could be tricky getting it inside if you want the glue side out, especially if the crack is deep. If the non-glue side out probably the same as teflon if put on a tenon-like stick.
