OK, I still don't have an answer to the question I
asked: has anyone
here actually done this sort of work on a HP 9845?
I think people are responding to the "or another machine of the era using
the same screen technology" aspect :-)
Regarding re-bonding, I just used clear silicone outside the visible area
(but something opaque would have worked just as well) - as I mentioned
somewhere, the gap between faceplate and CRT face on the 250 was reasonably
large, so I'm not sure that most adhesives would form a bead that big and
stay in place.
If it lasts a decade, great - the difficult part was removing the faceplate
and original bonding compound; re-doing the bead around the edges wouldn't
be a major maintenance chore (but I've not dismantled a 9845, perhaps
they're much worse).
