I totally agree with Bob. Warm water, (yes!) and some patience. I have used that procedure a few times. Strange it seems but yes it works.

Maybe you could use an old dishpan or soup pot and fill it with warm water and just put the CRT face down. I know it will float, therefore the reason for a deep pan.

Just a thought...

I recall years ago thinking that various organic solvents like acetone or alchohol should be the obvious choice. But when acetone basically didn't work at all, and alcohol showed only a slight tendency to dissolve the stuff, water was the next logical choice, and worked far better. So water is indeed the answer to this question.
