Default 'stick-um' for a friction fit pulley?

I've got an old-ish [10yrs?] treadmill that I stuck in the outdoor
gazebo for my morning walk when it rains or whatever.

Lately it started slipping a bit every so often. So I pull it
apart & it looks like it is slipping where the drive pulley is pressed
onto the 1 1/4" or so shaft that the walking belt rides on.

Did it get cold enough for the metal shaft to shrink more than the
plastic pulley?

Do you think Loctite make a product that will make it grip, or is
there a better product out there.

I've got nothing to lose-- this thing is long past paid for. I'm
just trying to keep from tossing this one and picking up another.
