Traeger Thermocouple Issue?

I used JB Weld. It's held up through a few cooks so far. I did get a replacement TC from Traeger but I don't look forward to having to replace it. After a few cooks those mounting screws are frozen.

Actually, stove gasket cement sounds like the way to go if I have another accident and chip the JB

I'm going with JB Weld to get by for now. I'm going to get Traeger to replace the original one. Thanks
