I've done the same thing with heavy thread.
Drill a hole of the fuse in both sides, where you want to attach the tube.
Using a long upholstery needle, go into one side and out the other, reverse
the needle and loop the thread around the tube as you pass the needle back
out.
If you are sewing in a tube on both sides, you obviously need to loop both
of them before sealing the holes.
Pull the tubing up tight to the fuse side and fill the hole with baking
soda. Hit it with thin CA, then sand flush.
(I didn't see/read the whole thread, so if someone already suggested this,
apologies.)

Subject: [RCSE] Another tip about securing a tube in an inaccessible area
This applies to a translucent fuselage, such as unpainted glass. If the
tube to be installed is one nothing wants to stick to, decide on the spots
where you want it attached and shrink a sleeve of HS tubing at those
spots on the tube.
Position the tube. Just above it, drill small holes in the fuselage, such
as 1/8", at the location of the HS pieces. Bend a common pin so it can be
inserted into the hole to pull the tubing against the inside of the
fuselage. Remove the needle from a small syringe. Put some quickepoxy in
it. Let gravity help get it where wanted. Put a tiny spring clamp on the
pin. Snip when the epoxy has cured.
