Back at the front of the thread someone said that there is some sort of sealant that comes in a pressurized can used for Oil Pans that is extremely adhesive. I don't remember the name of it.
Crazy glue is used to glue o-ring stocks together to make custom o-rings so I think it would take the heat.

This loctite spec shows their crazy glue service temp of 180F.

The Right Stuff is the sealant you are thinking of. It is a thicker body RTV that can be put into service after 1 minute. I don't know if it is stronger adhesive wise than regular RTV. I think crazy glue is stronger than it. Do your own test. Glue one up with clamps installed, let cure, take the clamps off and try to yank the hose off or pressure test it and see at what psi it blows off.
