Best way to stuck in the tusks?

[Sevej]

So I'm getting used with 1 piece metal figures, and was a little surprised when received my mammoth. With separate tusks. Monster tusks to boot  I think I'm going to cut them to size to make them more practical to game with. But since it's been awhile since the last time I glue metal to metal, I'm wondering if anyone got tips and creative ideas to make the construction as rigid as possible. Note that pinning is not an option for me.

Scar the area to be glued first. Epoxy will give the strongest joint, but the tusks will need supporting, superglee is faster, but only joints in 1 plane, should work OK for tusks.

In either case leave for an hour, and support the tusks for that period of time.

If you've got a small drill bit, you can drill a small hole in the mammoth casting, and the tusk will slot nicely into it.  A bit of superglue, and you're good to go.

I think I assembled mine the way Leon suggests. A shallow hole drilled into the head is all that is required, then some super glue. I don't really remember assembling it, which means it must have been straight forward. Unlike some other minis - Minifigs Stuart tanks still haunt me

I did it the Leon way    has given a sturdy result, survives gaming handling fine

Another method would be the "GS weld" - mix up a small amount of green [or grey] stuff; drop a small ball into the 'socket', add a small ball to the tusk end - then bang a dab of superglue onto both & fuse together...almost indestructible [& way quicker / less fiddly than fecking about pinning things]
