Repairing worn hub axle races

If the interference between the smaller sleeve (shown in the video clip) and the axle housing is not enough, could the same Loctite compound be used to hold it? I suspect so even though I would prefer the correct interference.

The sleeves I got from Henry's(Snyders), suggest using loctite when fitting the sleeve to the housing, as well as .0015" interference. It's a learning curve for me, my first one. Found out the housing is hard as a rock and killing my inserts, but they are easily replaced. My set up is large end in the four jaw chuck and centred with a dial gauge, and a live centre cone at the other. The length is at the extreme for my lathe, a Hafco AL-330.
