I use the old fashion method. Wetted asbestos paste as detailed in my BMC body repair manual.

It's reusable as well when dried out, helping the environment

I have priced that Wurth Gel and it is crazy expensive. I use this stuff that you can buy on Amazon.

$9 for a large tube of it and I even performed the same trick heating a bolt to red hot and I can hold the other end (at least for a couple minutes!).
