most of time heating the wire is not required, just warm the CRT face on in the sun on a hot day and use a strong steel wire to pull thur the adhesive. I use a couple large wood dowels to wrap SS .015 wire around them for hand holds, then you sort of saw thru. the adhesive should be like thick gel.
Personally if its just a very light green stain around the edges I would not be in a hurry to remove it. The CRT's are bulky and not easy to handle, and if you remove all the yoke/conv/purity gear you will have to reset it all up. Some ohter things, be very careful when removing the CRT socket and the yoke, you dont want to stress the CRT pin base, the glue that holds it on is fragile.
