The Burton Power stretch appear to be made out of the same material as the 4th element ones. @Deep South Divers could educate you as he has pretty much dove all variations that have been discussed above.
I am not one to say this is better than that. Without prejudice, most products in the industry are reasonably well made. Most cost difference is in the name. There are exceptions to this. For the most part if you buy from a reputable business, even if they don't make it, they will usually stand...

DIR-diver.com - Adjust the backplate
Should help with the proper adjustment. Then dial it in at a pool.
As far as sex bolts. I typically use an sta for added tank stability. In which case I use bolts to attach the sta, then thread the cam bands through the sta only. Allowing...
My vote is for training as realistic as possible. When it comes to lifesaving skills I want my rescuer to have the best most realistic experience possible. Kind of like in the military when they shoot goats and pigs for medics to train on real life specimen. I would much rather have someone...
Nope. Just slide it the sleeve. It has a slight taper. If you are worried about getting glue on your wife's pink yeti put some blue painters tape on it.
*that is from experience
I use a 32oz yeti mug when I glue new seals on. I found it to be perfect. You could also use a large Nalgene bottle with a few wraps of blue painters tape.
To add: I would just pull the trigger on a set of latex seals. Practice gluing them to the gloves of your choice either by glue, tape, aquaseal, or contact cement. Once happy with the outcome glue them on your suit. That will start you towards the end goal.
I am going to skip around here:
#2. The cheapest way to get a dry glove system with your current setup and no modification to your suit. Buy cheap rubber pull over gloves like this: Super Grip Black Dry Glove
Then order this:
Dry Adhesive Drysuit Latex Wrist Seals
Put the two together and you...
@rob.mwpropane what is your end goal? To use 720's? Or just find a reliable dry glove to use with your suit? What is your budget? With this information we will collectively be able to get you the recommended outcome. If it is to just get a low cost dry glove let us know. There are so many...
I will say, the 720's are worth whatever investment you need to make. I have over 75 shore dives with rocky entries and exits and no leaks. My old 660's only lasted 10 to 12 dives before needing replacement. I carry a back up pair just in case, I've thought about changing them out. But now I'm...
I am unsure if it is rebranded pb300. Give them a call.
If you are set on using 720's. The easiest way to get there would be to buy the Ultima ring system and change the neoprene wrist seals to latex. (I say change the seals because I do not know if the Ultima rings would seal with a neoprene...
Yes acetone can be used as a cleaner as well. M.E.K. is some NASTY stuff. Use in a well ventilated area.
I am unsure if acetone can be used as an activator with pb300. But I do know it can be used as a substitute for cleaning.
I can assure you that the pb300 glue is not a bonding agent. It is more like rubber cement. It adheres 2 materials together via contact. It does not vulcanize the material at all. It dries flexible and "melts" when heated. (not really melts but becomes runny again)
The m.e.k. is used to clean...
#1 those are not showa 720's. Those look like 660's.
#2. If they are 660's you will need to use M.E.K. to prep the glove before gluing the seal on. This is because the glove has a pvc coating.
#3. The 720's are nitrile. I do not believe, even with mek, you could get the glue to adhere.
#4...
Ft. Adams would be my bet. However, a little longer trip puts you in Rockport, MA. There you will find arguably the best shore diving in New England. You have Folley Cove and Cathedral Rocks. But if Newport is the spot then I would go to Ft Adams. Here are some pictures to help you find the...
Try a waterproof wetsuit. They have shorter arms and legs. Their sizing chart is pretty accurate tho. Bonus, some of their wetsuits have an additional pocket on the thigh.
The great thing about hollow core dyneema fishing line is you can splice it. Makes joining new sections and end loops extremely easy. I tie 90% less knots now that my reels have hollow core on them.
