How do you attach your reproductioins buffalo horns

I am about to mount a buffalo shoulder mount. I'm wondering what the best way to attach reproductions horns it.

I've usually use bondo and screws on real horns but have never used repo's before. There so very smooth and shiny on the inside that I'm not so sure that the bondo would adhere to them.

I've thought about foaming them but I'm worried I'm going to end up with and awful mess.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Terri

Epoxy

Sand both surfaces and use epoxy. Bondo isn't a good choice for "gluing" anything.


Thanks George

Thanks a bunch for the info George. I mounted the buffalo shoulder mount yesterday and the epoxy worked real nice.

Appreciate the help.
