If the horn cores are already on the form (Wood 2x2)I put a few sheetrock screws into the wood and leave them sticking out a little so that I get a good bond. Once I have the set I want I bondo the horn on. I have never had a problem with them coming off.

I use the 5" sheet rock screws too and also have never had a problem.

I like to fill the horn first, with 2 part foam, then carve out enough, so the sheet rock srews will fit, and then bondo as stated above.It gives more serface for the bondo to bite into.
