Ok then back to the orig question how to correctly apply a tension band. Maybe someone that knows how to contact Scotty could fine out?
I know I would feel a lot more comfortable with a tension band on a bonded face CRT (when removing the lens that is), esp after my latest attempt, it sounded like a IED going off in the back yard, I was lucky, only got a minor cut on my arm, there where some pretty big chunks of glass several feet from the implosion.
