i have had success with nichrome wire and a 12v gelcell.
i made a set of handles with cables to go to the battery.
worked nice on a 19eyp22.
just dont breath the fumes.
do it outdoors.
going to do a 25bap22 in a zenith next and a 21fjp22 in a rca.
the stuff in between is pva(polyviynl acetate.
the trick is to get the tube and cover glass clean.
some small rubber blocks around the edge to space the glass and packing tape to contain the new stuff.
poke hole in tape at top and inject new resin.
i will find out the part number of the resin kit and post it here.
i think it is made by corning but not sure.

John,

I'm keeping some details of the procedure and the secret solvent (um...did I say it was a solvent? ) close to my chest for now as I have a commercial interest in the procedure. I was only successful after considerable R&D invested. At some point I will be taking these for rebuild so ...

A NOTE TO COLOR COLLECTORS. Don't throw any 21FJP22's with cataracts away that measure good emission!!!
