Hi, I want to try fitting the SHOWA 720 gloves instead of the original latex gloves with my kubi system. Having just fitted them, because of the inner lining the seal isn't perfect and blowing air into them I can see bubbles forming around the wet glove. I am using the same O rings supplied with the original kubi gloves.

Has anyone found a way to remove this lining?
I thought of adding a layer of latex from a drysuit wrist seal to the glove to then attach that to the ring instead but seems a bit farfetched!

I've seen photos of them used with other ring systems but not kubi..?

Wrap gloves around oring. Oring goes on the inside. Search on this site for Ultima drive glove system and search the thread for mounting 720’s
 

This video shows how to change out the gloves. I’ve heard that a drop or 2 (no more!) of silicone lube on the glove side o-rings makes a huge difference
