To set the scupper I covered the scupper with plastic wrap, placed it in the enlarged and reinforced hole and filled the depression with epoxy/filler to get the proper shape. I then removed the scupper, removed the plastic and reset the scupper back into the hole with sealant. That gave me a nice flush mounted drain that never gets plugged.
