I seriously doubt it will implode as well. I've seen CRTs that size take a
direct hit from a bullet (.22 and .38) and maybe a chip in the glass.
It would need to be buffed out. But with the cost of a buffer and the
various polishing agents needed in addition to the time you'd be better
off buying a new one. You are also not assured of being able to
polish evenly. CRT monitors are dirt cheap. Chalk it up to experience
and just get a new one.

BTW I have not polished a CRT before so take this info with a grain of
salt.

I have already scratched off the coating and now what is left is very
very small scratches all over the screen..

so you guys think i should chuck it out? I seriously doubt it will
blow up/implode...

The anti glare coating on the screen can be taken off with a chemical.
If the scratches you're seeing are a result of the anti glare being
scratched you may be able to wipe the rest of the coating off and with
it the scratches. My sister in law works for an eye glass
manufacturer and she used a chemical on my lenses to remove the anti
glare when it became scratched. I'm not sure what she used to remove
it but I would imagine you could check with a nearby eye glass
retailer and they could help you.
