I use Bearing retaining compound.....it wont move again, but gentle heat will release it if you need to remove the flywheel.

Gentle heat is the key word here to be sure, as that old Doll flywheel is probably made from some form of Zinc alloy like Zamak (Mazak in UK) that probably has a very low melting point!
