Frankly, I have NO CLUE how the heck they did it in the factory!

My guess for a modern day rebond:

Use a suction cup hloder to hold glass in front of CRT at right sapceing. CRT held by jig.

Wrap tape around the two as origional.

Poke two holes in top - one to let air out, one to add sillicone.

Fill with the new stuff - slowly.

Beyond that? No clue.

I'd hang onto any bonded tubes with bad bonding - they inevitably test great, and let's face it, SOMEONE will SOMEDAY figure this out...

my guess is that those sheets of silicon were pre-manufactered and heated just enough to create a bond. I cant imagine that they would have poured silicon on each individual tube. The sheet that I removed was too perfect for that. Pretty good process for back then.
