I would try a HQ adhesive like epoxy, gorilla glue (polyurethane), or JB weld first; there shouldn't be a lot of torque on it and if you build it up a bit it should hold quite well. | |

They're really more like a flux-cored "silver-solder" which appears aggressive enough to be able to wet and join a variety of different metals. You'd also need a small butane torch or something similar to get the bits hot enough to melt the 'rod'. | |
