Alright, I have some thoughts on this going forward.

First, after watching a half dozen YouTube videos of imploding CRTs, I am convinced that the level of personal protective equipment in that video is almost reckless. No TV is worth risking a disfiguring injury!

Secondly, I was thinking about how by removing the PVA, I will be essentially removing a safety feature deemed necessary for the product to be sold. Since I plan to use the Motorola in a house I share with other family members, I worry that defeating a safety feature puts them at an unnecessary risk. I was looking into optically clear adhesives I could use to reattach the safety glass and a friend made an interesting suggestion.

3M window security film.. If I put that on the face of the CRT, it should bind it together in the case of an implosion. The safety glass could be reattached as is usually done. What do you guys think, worth a try? Ideally I would have some dud CRTs I could use for destructive testing to prove it works, but I am thinking it can be better than nothing.
