I received the neck seal yesterday but have not tried it in the ocean yet. I did try it at home though. I wet the seal and put it on before I don my top. [I am using a Viking Extreme with latex neck seal and latex hood and the neck seems to leak if I twist my head around underwater when I try to keep track of my buddy.] At home the bio seal is flat against my neck until I pull the neck seal over it. Then it acquires a life of it's own and rolls over onto itself several times. It is almost impossible to unroll it inside the Viking seal and tight hood as it's dry by now and sticky and I have no room to maneuver my fingers. Can I leave it rolled up under the latex seal as best I can and still get a good seal? Or can I leave it rolled up over the latex neck seal and still get a seal? What if I cut it in half lengthwise? Will it have better support on my neck and not tend to roll as easily?
I know I will find out these answers on my own this coming weekend by trial and error when I take it diving but I am looking for some hints, tricks of the trade or experience with these questions. Thank you.
