Bonding all-thread to machine handle

I would like to bond a piece of all-thread to the handle, up to the nut, in the attached photo. I have tried Loctite but it didn't hold, even as I thought I had cleaned both the male and female threads with solvent. It is one of a pair of handles to hold down an adjustable fence for a (wood) shaper. The threads are right-hand, so of course it tightens down just fine, but when loosening the handle backs out leaving the treaded rod in place. Then I have to loosen the nut with a wrench. The other one is fine, it's just this one.

Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

What color loc tite did you try? The Red formula will hold to the point that heat will be needed to break the bond if you would ever need to in The future.

Latinrascalrg1,
First I tried the 'hand tool removeable' (blue?). That didn't work, so I tried the Red. Maybe I didn't have the threads as clean as need be, or as the Red was old, maybe it was bad? thanks for your help.

Another suggestion would be to silver solder the parts together. If you do have to disassemble them just apply heat.
 
Another vote for JB Weld. I have used this with threaded items in jigs and knobs. This will fill the gaps/slop between the threads.

Loctite and similar products works best with tighter fitting thread. If the thread has slop, I have needed to tighten down the thread using a nut so I get most of the air between the threads out. Loctite and similar products need a lack of oxygen to cure and do not work well if they have to fill gaps.
