Somebody should eMail a CRT rebuilder with this question... All the ones I knew here in LA (now LONG gone anyway), would remove the safety glass and NOT reinstall it. In place of the glass, they applied a steel band around the circumference of the tube. This was supposed to cause an imploding tube to be contained and not ricochet out into the room.

But I hear that Hawkeye, and maybe some other big rebuilders, DO reinstall the gel-spaced glass.
