Dig out your RCA Receiving Tube handbook and look at the TV picture
tube section. It looks as if "Pan-o-ply" was a laminated faceplate
system used on monochrome CRTs.
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.
Atmospheric pressure is about 1 Kg/cm2, so the pressure on a 27 inch
CRT faceplate isn't negligible. I'd be concerned.
