CRT scratch repair

[RetroHacker]

I've come across a few sets recently that have scratched tubes. One has pretty good size gouges in the glass. I see this most on newer, 'black bubble' type sets, where the set is very front-heavy and the tube doesn't have bezel that sticks out farther than the center of the tube (like older sets). It looks like they fell on some gravel or something. I also see it sometimes on computer terminals, etc - but not as bad as I've got it here. Anyone come up with a way of fixing scratches like this? I remember seeing ads for scratch-fixing compound for eyeglasses - is there something similar that might work to repair or help hide scratches in a CRT? I know it's pobably not worth trying to fix, but I thought it might be interesting to try.

Any ideas?
