once safety glass removed (Maybe vacuum really holding
it on convex surface)

The only upside for me is that I don't like the tint filter of
(RCA) safety glass and will like to see picture/colorimetry thru
modern clear soft safety plastic attach?

you probley have allready thrown away the old pva material ,if you still have any you could run some control experiments on some samples ,i would like to see what different solvents or basic water base alcohol's have any effect on the pva or just see what its made up of ,you never no some everyday household products could desolve it. it cool to find something that wouldnt hurt only the pva .the best samples would be taken from the center.
