Well, the previous discussions along this line talked about removing
the laminated front with a nichrome wire. I believe at least one list
member reported using this technique. The question is what did they
do after that? Did they reapply some sort of PVA type material? I
don't see how you could do that in a way and keep the thickness
uniform, but what do I know? Maybe there's an easy way to keep the
thickenss uniform and then you can repair the safety as well as the
appearance.

Yes, this would worry me also. Unless you know
the exact reason for how
the CRT was originally assembled, I would have though you shouldn't
change anything.
Hmmm... should this give me 2nd thoughts about delaminating the lens
from my precious old terminal in order to rid it of said "cataracts"?
Note: in reassembling it, I'd be using the procedure in the video,
which doesn't include reapplication of any such PVA material -- just
the lens stuck over the CRT and held on by 2-sided tape.
