I have fixed a few Rainbow monitors suffering from screen mould.
It may be crude but I just removed the outer glass by breaking it into parts
and then peeled off the offending plastic layer.
The tube then goes back into the case and you end up with a narrow gap
between the bezel and the tube.
If you are not used to working with glass and CRT's then this way is not for
you

what about DEC Rainbow monitors? What about just introducing some bleach and
hoping capillary action pulls it in?

Hello all,
Does anyone have specific experience with addressing
this problem on this
machine?
The procedure is removal of the RTV between the safety
glass and CRT separating the two by
cutting through the RTV with a hot wire, then reattachment
at the corners.
There are some examples on the web.
