Reattaching water pump shaft to camshaft

I had my cam out to Web getting restored. When they told me they had to remove that shaft I initially worried about getting it back on. Turns out that wasn't a problem. The problem is getting back on tightly. I can easily spin the water pump shaft on the camshaft. That probably won't be good for the water pump impeller. Anyone have ideas?

I looked up that retaining compound and it's good to .01" of clearance. I measured mine and I'm right at .01." Bottle on the way... Thanks for the tip!
