Did you ever
do a repair job on "screen rot" by removing the existing
epoxy and safety lens and adding new epoxy between the tube and the
safety lens?
Nope, I've never even seen this "screen rot" on any tube. Maybe we
don't get it in the UK?
Its highly dependent on manufacturing materials, climate and lifetime
of the tube. There's plenty of CRTs out there with the problem. I
posted a link to a technique recently that makes it easy to remove the
adhesive and restore the tube to visibility. Unfortunately it
compromises the safety purpose of the adhesive. I'm interested in
techniques for manually restoring the tube to its original condition
instead of just removing the adhesive.
