130 degrees Centigrade is way more than the neck would ever experience. That's beyond the boiling point of water. I've used an IR thermometer (with tungsten filter to reduce the effects of the filaments temp) on CRT necks and found the temps to be about 140 - 180 degrees 60-84 degrees Celcius (~140 - 180 degrees Fahrenheit). That's probably why the Military used RTV rubber - withstands up to 225 degrees Celcius.

Cheers,
