you're basically just looking for a "cement" type stuff that won't break under extremes of heat.

You can use kiln cement for this.
I'd imaging that exhaust gasket paste, (air dries and rated to regularly be exposed to much greater heat) would work just as well. and would be available at almost any auto mech place (if you wanted to get it faster than ordering online)

We tried kiln cement and found it too fragile. We are trying high temp RTV that is supposed to be good to 600 deg F.
