Default Re: How CRT re-gun was done

OT, but fluoropolymers, e.g. Viton as widely used in O-rings, gaskets and seals, can decompose under excess heat to produce hydrofluoric acid, so beware of handling items that may have come from e.g. fire-damaged cars. Washing down with plenty of water would at least be prudent- as mentioned, even a smear of HF could produce severe burn scarring, or worse.
