Bonding brass hubs to steel

[mikemunsonParticipant @mikemunson]

i am planning the assembly of the control gear for a a Cornish Cycle beam engine model. This wiil involve arbors 3mm diameter with a number of levers and interlocks fastened to them. I could bond these with something like Loctite but are there suitable capillary spray or drop that would allow assembly before applying the bonding agent?

It may not be marketed as such, but [reading between the lines] this should do nicely:

I believe 290 is the wicking one not 270 as per Michaels link.

 

Though both are thread lockers and not retainers so may not have as much strength for bonding cylindrical surfaces.
