Shed Connectors

I have a shed connector from Van Dyke's and a nice set of matched WT sheds I want to mount. Would 5 minute epoxy work well for bonding the drilled out antler to the hollow connector?

I bought one of the cheap ones from McKenzie, just the skull plate and 2 screws sticking up. Needless to say thank god it was one of my racks that I was doing for a store display, the screws bent while putting the antlers on and in trying to get the right spread SNAP the screw broke so now I have one side glued on and one side laying on a bench with half a screw glued in it. I guess I will try to drill 4 or 5 holes and use some heavy wire to sit the antler on. I've used the good shed connectors in the past and won't use anything but them from now on.

I had a heck of a time setting the antlers to the correct angle, but with dad's help we got it figured out. The Van Dyke's connector is a pain in the butt though. I think the pedicles are way too tall. We had to saw the wood block out of the form to get it set in the correct depth.
