[QUOTE=kx250rider;3069028]I know that when I used to go to Dunbar CRT Rebuilders in Los Angeles in the 80s, for "while-I-wait" bonded glass removal, they would remove the glass first with a hot wire between two handles, and then use a banding gun to apply the band. It was an air-operated gun; similar to the ones used in palatizing of machinery for shipping. I happen to remember the name "Signode" on the gun. I don't think it was anything special for CRT banding, but I don't know that for sure.
If you look at factory banded CRT's, you'll see that there is some kind of epoxy used with the banding. I don't think, just the banding would have been sufficient for implosion protection.
