Trying to get a pic of this is touch. But as I push my cown onto the fuse, its like the cowl is too big to fit into the fuse seem. There is a good .5mm of slack or so. So if I start bottom or top and line it up exactly with the fuse seem, when I get to the end there is a gap because its too "long". I tried sanding lots but its as thin as its going to get, any ideas what I need to do?

The toothpick method works ok if I use balsa, it allows the slack to spread out a bit but makes an uneven seem. Toothpicks have a bit much give, so the balsa is better. But getting hysol in the fuse underneath the balsa seems to be a chore! Also once I glue it some glue will come out and get on the balsa and the balsa will be fused to the seem. I assume I just sand that out?

Somethings off here.
