The screw shell of one of my favorite lamps (bulb) became loose a long
time ago. I removed the screw shell and scaped the old glue, cement,
epoxy or whatever its called completely out and cleaned it.

What is this stuff called? It needs to withstand high amounts of heat
without melting or cracking again. Where can I find a small tube of
this stuff at?

Thanks in advance!

It sounds like you are looking for a refractory cement. Inquire at a
ceramics supply house (or industrial supply distributor). Also, many
hardware stores stock a cement for attaching replacement fiberglass
gasket material to woodstoves, but it's a black color, and it may not
have the kind of strength you need.
