Weekend CRT Cateract remove

[DaveWM]

I would leave that little bit of green alone, not worth the hassle of removing the CRT from the set.

However if you really want to do it, the green is soft, almost like a jelly, a thin music wire with a couple wood handles to grab it with can be used to slice under the lens, kind of saw thru the goo. Its a pita to clean up, very sticky gets everywhere, wear some old clothes...
