      Food grade epoxy is definitely the way to go!
      Just make sure you get the mix right. Read directions and ALWAYS follow them diligently.

      When cleaning the horn initially I fill it with hydrogen peroxide, changing it every couple of hours for the first day. It does a great job of breaking down the organic material leftovers. I generally use beeswax for sealing except for the one I take to summer events. It doesn't last but the smell of beeswax when drinking a stout is heavenly

    Needed to see this! My grandfather (100% Danish) gave me one of his steer horns from his dairy farm/ranch. So obviously it holds extreme meaning to me. With my conversion to Heathenry, I have wanted to use it as a drinking horn. Glad you made this video! Skål!

    i did my first one like this... First i cooked them to get the inside out. After that step i like cleaned them inside with corega tooth pills and sparkling water. And then i sanded the outside with starting from p100 till p 4000 and polished it with "car" polisher xD. yeah and after this i cut it off till i got the size i wanted, sanded the edge, got a ring over it and then i blew out the dust out of the inner area and cleaned it with alcohol. after this i used Food-safe varnish bcs my father had some from his job as woodworker at home and we took that. let it dry and yeah after like 1-2 weeks outside i could drink out of it. Sadly the ring is coming off bcs its only glued with superglue. At the Moment im crafting like 7 Drinking horns that way but only without the ring on top them bcs i dont really know how to do it with nails the best. It might be bad english but i think u know what i mean the most of the time. Greatings from Germany

    How do you orient it when waiting for it to cure? Or do you roll it around until it loses viscosity?
    I just did a leather mug with Alumilite Clear Cast (30-40min working time) and let it sit right side up. The bottom is sealed 100% with a bit of pooling, but some of it did trickle down from the top. I'm going for re-coat, maybe brush it on, and let it cure upside down.
    Excellent work, as always. Thank you.

    I got my drinking horn as a present - bought in a store so not home made. Are these procedures already done and how would i be able to know if it was already done.
    Additionally after sealing/curing on a horn is done what is your usual cleaning routine before/after drinking?

      @Tomcat_Coyote 2 года назад +2

      I think "food grade" is pretty self-explanatory . If you're going to put food into the vessel , and eat or drink from it , YES it has to be food grade , because it means it won't contain the same chemicals as other epoxies that are toxic and were never meant to be in contact with your mouth , much less so your stomach .

    • @DarkHorseWorkshop
      @DarkHorseWorkshop  3 года назад +1

      Depends on the person, but curing it with alcohol or sealing in some way is always a good plan. Hard to say without having the horn in person, how raw, sanded, sealed or cured at all are all factors.

  • @dr.lexwinter8604
    @dr.lexwinter8604 3 года назад +1

    Drinking horns were, most probably, used more like a yard glass. Everyone having a full sized horn is improbable. A mug made of horn is more probable. But clay and wood is cheaper, more available, and saving horn for something more specific that it would be of benefit for is more sensible. So the probability of a 'drinking horn' being a thing is slim. Think about how many times you've seen a yard glass in your life. Far less than you've seen drinking horns, right? Yet that probably derived FROM the drinking horn. Also if you want a more authentic coating for the interior that won't melt when you put hot mead in it I suggest using pine pitch. Some isn't safe and has funky chemicals so be careful or make it yourself.
