Hey Larry,

    Lee here, from Mammoth Ivory Creations. I been carving Mammoth Ivory
    for about 20 years now and have found that for set in findings Zap
    CA is the best if the finding is ridged and tight fitting. Other wise
    use Zap-A- Gap. Both are Sieano ancalate (glorified super glue) but
    they work. 

    For setting of stones and other exterior findings; 5 minute 2 part
    epoxy works well. Just remember a little goes a long ways and be
    sure to clean excess of the ivory before it sets super solid. Feel
    free to contact me at Levenalee AT yahoo.com if you have any further
    questions.
