 The O2 adjusting knob in the middle of my Victor torch keeps falling off.
Its a spline and originally had a light press fit. I buggered the spine with
a vice grip and stuck it back on a few times over the years. That trick
ain't gonna work anymore. How would you bond it so it still could be
disassembled if needed?

Loctite (or other brand) thread locker. Get one of the semi-permenent
ones, you can still remove it if you heat it to something like 400
degrees.

Easiest thing would be to get a new valve from your friendly,
neighborhood, Victor dealer.

epoxy (aka JB-weld, etc) will hold it in place if you clean it first - to
get it off, just heat
