Actually I just made a template off the back of the hood
curve with posterboard, then used that to do the cut.
Was pretty easy really and painless.
But now that I have one already cut, I can use the cut piece
as a template if I want to mark future scoops before
shipping them.

Yeah, thought about wrapping the scoop too or instead of the
insert, thats defineatly another option.
Screen mesh would be pretty easy too if you wanted.
