I finally solved the problem with a pice of 1/8" plexiglas, about 12" square. I stuck it over the filler with a wide bead of RTV. Problem gone. Of course, getting the RTV off the wing skin when I was done was a bit of a problem, but not nearly as bad as trying to get the last minute scratch on the filler neck sealed.
