A bazillion questions about crt rebuilds....

[Richard D]

There are some companys here in miami that will pack almost anything using sheets of gray plastic. first they spray the bottom fo the box with hot foam in place liquid from a double nozzle gun then while the foam is expanding the lay the first sheet of plastic on top of it then the crt, so some of the foam rises above the face of the tube they then cover any exposed crt with plastic and the foam in the rest half way up the neck. That way there are no air gaps and the tube becomes packed in a giant shock absorber. Removal of the foam can be easy if none of the foam contacts the tube, then you are on an dig to get it out. If done right the the top foam lifts straight up and you can use the bottom one as an anti scratch pad for the face of the tube.
