Abstract: For supplying frit slurry to the sealing surface of a funnel portion of a cathode ray tube, air under pressure, preferably saturated with a solvent for the frit slurry, is supplied to a vessel containing the frit slurry, and the latter is transported by the air under pressure out of an outlet of the vessel and through a hose or hoses for deposit on the sealing surface. The flow of frit slurry is regulated by a valve between the vessel outlet and the hoses. The frit slurry contained in the vessel is stirred continuously to maintain a substantially constant slurry viscosity as the slurry leaves the vessel outlet.
