Subject: HP CRT mould update
snip
I'm not sure about trying to re-seal it; that could go horribly
wrong
and leave air bubbles trapped in there. Not even sure what stuff to
use.
Padding the faceplace out as necessary right at the edges (where it
won't be visible when everything's back together) is probably the
best
course of action and it'll look as good as new when back together.
I just did the edge thing with sealant for the 9845 CRT I did a couple
of years back-looks fine, although I did have the same reservations
initially. It probably depends on the 'darkness' of the faceplate
whether a filler is needed or otherwise. I left a gap about 20 cm long
top and bottom just in case I had trapped any moisture etc in there,
but should go back (bugger of a job just getting at the CRT in the
9845) and seal it up some day when it's fairly warm.
