There's some high-temp epoxy called 'J-B Weld', available, I think, from CPC amongst other places. I've used it in the past for attaching heat-sensors to Iron transformer core laminations and it (allegedly) withstands 500 degrees farenheit. If you do use it, though, take special care and protect your eyes from coming into contact with it.
