Default CRT HV wire repair ?



I am asking ...
1. is this possible or feasible ?
2. What silicon do i use (from local hardware store) ? "RTV" is
not there just %100 silicon sealer
3. is there any special surface prep to perform ?
4. What can i do to replace or re-glue the 2" copper tape that
was covering the silcon anode mount point ?



Personally I would probably splice the wire then carefully cover the splice
with silicone, let it cure, and slide heatshrink over that. If the
connection on the CRT is easy to get to, then solder it there. Cover it with
ordinary *clear silicone*, not colored, not latex. Let it cure for 48 hours
before applying power. For the copper tape, any number of glues will work,
contact cement, spray adhesive, double sided tape, etc.
