NO.
Suggest contacting Henkel [they are continually introducing new/better products to their comprehensive range] or their 'qualified' local dealer [not Canadian Tyre or Lowes etc.]

for an appropriate recommendation that sets, filling any wear space symmetrically but not locking the bearing & spindle parts together. Just like a sleeve.
In the past correctly dimensioned shim stock has been used around the spindle circumference tightening things up while maintaining concentricity between the bearing & spindle, in extreme cases.
Then we have had folk who centre popped around the spindle [ineffective homebased effort @ knurling] that lasts a few miles before becoming useless.
When using locktite follow instructions, tighten the wheel bearings to binding, allow setting, then lastly adjust bearings properly.
The locktite route @ the end of the day makes for no sending parts out, real time lost or major expenditure.
Proper knurling may well work on the front spindles but becomes very expensive & difficult on the rear axle housing.
Incidentally knurling has not been used for many decades, in the real repair world.
Good products like locktite killed many antiquated methods off. Always go with realistic
modern day solutions.
