Leaking DEC VR201 monochrome monitor?

As far as I know, the front of an implosion-protected CRT works
like a laminated windscreen (windshield). There are 2 (normal) 
glass layers bonded together by the 'goo'. If you've refitted the
outer layer with just fixing tape at the edges, you do not have
any implosion protection. And I certainly would not sit in front
of a CRT like that!
