RE: Covering burn in (was RE: Picture tube re-builder?)

Certain types of commercial window tinting film are designed to be formed to
the shape of the window by first applying it to the outside of the window
and heating w/ a heat gun. The formed piece is then removed and applied to
the inside of the window, resulting in a custom formed fit.

You would have to check color availability.

Another benefit of applied films is that it probably would get rid of
apparent scratches on the CRT face.
