Thanks for that info Charles! Im going to see if I can get one off there. Well, I removed the CRT, removed the magnetic convergance coils, then I propped the tube face up in a 5 gallon bucket, these work great! Just put a towel around the ring to support the tube, I used a sweater, the neck is still 4" above the ground with these buckets. I used a 3000 watt Steinel heat gun 220v. I worked from the edges to the center in a circular motion at 750 degrees. at this rate the PVA came unglued quick, what happened next is after the 5" of bad PVA I could see the material letting go of the glass until the center finally lifted, then I heard a quick pop as the glass shield let do completely. There was no prying with wood dowels, I used kevlar gloves and grabbed the glass and removed it. It didnt try to stick anywhere. Then I peeled the PVA from the CRT, worked like magic! What I think all the other guys were having issues with is they were not getting the glass hot enough, but I know not everyone has these heat guns handy... But I do sell them if anyone ever needs to do this.
