What is recommended for bonding solid silver (with gold plating) to horn kurigata?
I personally don't think super glue is a good option here as I also need to glue to be a slight gap filler.
I was thinking two part epoxy? Or even hot glue? Is there a recommended option here?

I use E6000. It binds well, dries clear, doesn't damage what it adheres to, and doesn't bond so hard that you risk damaging the kurigata or shitodome if you ever need to remove the shitodome again. A lot of jewelers/craft peoople use it for these reasons. But it's not your best option if you're looking for a hard, epoxy-like bond. |

I'll just have to try and find the same equivalent glue in Australia. Cheers! |

A lot of crafters use GemTac and say it's as good. And Plumber's Goop and Crafter's Goop apparently use a very similar formula. Don't know if these are available in Australia, but they come well-recommended. Good luck! |

It wasn't in my local Hardware Store, but a quick online search and there is heaps of it. I'll go with it for sure. Thanks heaps for the advice! |
