Would molten tin solidify and coat an organic horn?

+0
−0

Tieflings are routinely captured and imprisoned. Those that are compliant enough are sent out and used to hunt other tieflings, but not before having their horns dipped in molten tin as a way of identifying their agents.

My question is whether or not dipping a horn in tin would actually result in a shiny tin coating on the horn or if it would just burn the horn and slough off without adhering to it. This is assuming the horn is similar in composition to a goat or rams horn.
