Repairing a damage CRT/tube base

[jeyurkon]

I was tempted to mix up the base recipe also. Finding the Durite Phenolic resin turned out to be too difficult.

Scotty says he uses a silicone RTV.

It works. But, it makes me just a little nervous when I plug on the socket. It tends to flex which must put a little stress on the leads.

If you use a one part RTV try to find one that doesn't make acetic acid during the cure.
