Question JB Weld

More than one person has been singing the praises of JB Weld lately on this and another board that I post to so I was wondering, do you think that it would adhere rams horn and other types of horn to a tang. I understand that horn can be tricky to glue.

It will work fine, but you will have a grey line if you join 2 slabs together. There is a good glue discussion in the general knife discussions area that may give you some better options.

Use the two part clear epoxy as it is thinner and will leave practically little or no line at the glue point and your horn will look great. Nothing against JB weld as I use it for some things and if you don't mind the gray line then it is fine for use.
