The adhesives used to stick lens elements together are
not likely to have
the strength to provide implosion safety.
I was thinking of things like the UV-curing resins, not Canada Balsam.
But, y'know, there used to be an optical adhesive with plenty of strength.
They used to use it between CRTs and their faceplates. Unfortunately,
sometimes it would degrade over time.
Well 'time' would seem to be 10's of years, and I don;t think having to
rebond a CRT every few decades is a big problem. So where do we get such
adhesives?
