Requesting cateract removal info

OK all your roundie nuts, The round tube noob has questions for ya'll:

How does one go about removing a cateract from the CRT? I've read about a few people who have done it, but they didn't provide a realy in-depth detailed explaination (or pictures for that matter) how its done properly.

The tube I have now is in fairly good shape and the cateract is only noticable on a bright scene, but I would like to remove it someday while I have the set apart.

More questions: What do you use to bond the safty glass to the tube after you have seperated the old bond and cleaned everything?
Does the glass have to sit a certain distance from the tube face?
What do you use to support the tube while performing the cateract surgery? A special lathe? Some other rig that keeps the tube in place? A big oil drum?
What do you use to remove the old bond? a solvent, heat?

I think all of your AK members other than myself would highly benefit from a thread detailing the procedure. If liabilty were to become an issue, perhaps we could stick a disclaimer on the thread, or members who would be willing to perform the surgery for a price could chime in.

Just my thought, what do you guys think?
