What type of glue for plastic and horn?

[MrPike]

Anybody have a suggestion for a good strong glue that will stick to plastic and horn?

Thanks!

5 minute expoxy will work well if you get the right type. Some are not suitable for plastics. The packaging will tell you what they are suitable for.

yellerdog,
I'll see what I can find. Thanks for the help.

Don't waste your time with gorilla glue. I use a small screw now.

I found that JB Weld two part epoxy is great. You have a few minutes to get things set. I let my stuff dry overnight, and it is as hard as metal the next day. You can still drill, file, and sand it. Good stuff for calls; bonds well to plastic, horn, and wood.

Amen to the JB Weld. I have also used a two part epoxy used on golf clubs, glue bond can be heated with a hot air gun to release. Be (careful) temperature needed to release may deform the plastic you are using.

I even used JB Weld to build up a big area in a wood stock I was using to sporterize an old Enfield. After I built up the area, I used a drill and grinding wheels followed by sandpaper to shape it. It's taken the pounding of at least a thousand rounds of surplus ammo, and hasn't budged. Amazing stuff.
