CRT gone to air, or are you out of CRT brighteners to use for bases?

As for glue, we always used DOW RTV3145 - gray silicone that is quite firm when it cures, and will allow things to shift when the temps cause expansion and contraction. The Navy uses RTV3145 on their Heads-Up Display CRTs. Good enough for A-7 Corsairs and F/A-18 Hornets, good enough for mid-20th century consumer electronics use.

Downside: Pricey.

Cheers,
