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.

I think they were tension banded before they were evacuated. A lot less danger them.
The rebuilder that I was buying from several years ago, was doing the same thing, that a lot of you V-K members are doing. That is, using Scotchmount type tape and clear silicone sealant.
It's not a true implosion protection, as the glass panel is not tempered. The nasty resin is what provided the implosion protection.
