The paint will have to be scraped down to the bare tube for the best glue bond.
After positioning the scoop, it was traced around with a sharp pencil.
The picture shows the scoop moved away from the pencil line.
The paint was scraped inside and up to the pencil line with a hobby knife.
That was followed with some light 220 grit sanding.
After gluing, this is the scoop view from the back.
Pre-forming the scoop (with the dowel in your hand) really helps get a good fit on the body tube curvature.
Notice the left rear (long) side of the scoop.
The card stock will tend to bow out a bit.
