I have an outwell Appetizer 2 stove* whose Part A from https://backpackinglight.com/forums/topic/26530/#post-1579900 has come loose due to the tiny blob of threadlock? falling off:
I presume it is OK for me to threadlock it back on and what is the best threadlock?
Perhaps they should have used a pin:

Most thread-locking compound is silicone based and good to much higher temperatures than this piece sees. I would be surprised if you had problems with the standard Loctite Blue (good to 300F).
Hi Al
Have you tried just doing up the nut with a tiny bit of force? Seat the nut shoulder against the stove body tightly (but not too tightly). It may be that this would be sufficient.
Otherwise, most any high temperature thread locker would work – but use only a very small amount. You don’t want it squooshing over the insides, and you want to keep the ability to undo the nut later.
Cheers

Retro Racing Character, Built for Everyday WearDrawing on the colorful racing chronographs of the 1960s and '70s, the RS1 Rally pairs vintage motorsport style with the durability expected from a Vaer. Its 40mm case houses a Japanese VK63 meca-quartz chronograph movement, complete with stopwatch functionality and an integrated tachymeter scale, while contrasting subdials give the watch its distinctive retro character. Sapphire crystal, 100 meters of water resistance, a screwdown crown, and strong BGW9 lume make it far more than a style piece. At under $300, it's an easy pick for the car enthusiast or chronograph fan.
