Hi Geo,
I used a tube 2" in diameter (the tubes of glue/silicon that you load into a dispensing gun are perfect), applied a release agent, painted in finishing resin and applied the cf. Once it dried I used sandpaper with a sticky back to trim the hole in the fuse to the exact size of the scoop and glued in the scoop. I lastly trimmed off the protuding portion of the scoop with sand paper (protecting the fuse paint with masking tape).
I was very happy with the result but must confess it wasn't my original idea, one of our local F3A Jedi (John Payne) talked me through it which was incredibly helpful.
