Is your make-up fu strong?

[binidj]

Only I have this pair of horns. Now these horns are horns of great loveliness being, as they are, crafted from translucent resin lovingly inked to look almost like the real thing. Unfortunately, these horns of splendour are rather heavy (well, heavy for two 2" blocks of resin) and I've yet to find any adhesive that will hold them on securely. Now it may be that I'm not using either spirit gum or mastix properly, and there may well be an arcane trick that will solve all my woes. I need them to stick to my head securely, to survive the occasional gentle knock, stay on through a veritable tide of perspiration, and remain safely attached for an entire day's roleplaying.

Can you help?

I'm going to suggest superglue.
Seriously... it is designed to do exatly the job that you are describing. It is designed to attach flesh to things (mainly back to flesh)

However, be warned... it is military/medical strength adhesive - if you get any in your eyes you are screwed.

Put some on each horn, then remove any excess. Dab the horns to your head where they will sit, remove them and allow the glue on both to dry to a tackyness, then push the horns onto your head.

...and you take them off later how...?

Ah... you use a spoon that has been sitting in boiling water, and gently tease them off. John Newton used to do something similar (or so I heard) to pinch the top of his ears into elf ears.

The faculty in the vipers use superglue
You can get "tescos own" superglue (or something like that) which will stick but not as much as "real" superglue
Just be damned careful with it
