Christian do you know the gauge of the wire you used ? And the current?
Maybe I should try that approach again!

What we did on one of our 2645 terminals was the hot wire method. We then attached the
"implosion" window to the inner of the case.
BTW is it really an implosion protection? I don't think so because since the 60s,
practically all CRTs have a so-called "integral implosion protection" (thick
glass on the front and metal band around the edge). I think it is just an anti-glare
filter glass. OTOH American CRTs may be completely different in this aspect compared to
European ones.
