Dry Glove Installation

[The Mighty Thor]

I am installing a set of Viking bayonet gloves onto my Fusion suit and I noticed that when installing the spanner rings onto the gloves that some people tuck the excess gloves inside, however the viking instructions show that the spanner is on the outside and the glove is folded over it (excess glove goes on the outside). Does it make a difference which way you install them and if so, why?

Also, is it necessary to put anything in the seal to be able to equalize the gloves. I've seen people with straws, wearing liner gloves under the wrist seal, etc, but I am trying to find out what works best. Any thoughts?

I've recently been thru the adventure of drygloves. I have the sitech, but they are essentially the same. The glove goes inside the locking ring that docks on the suit, the spanner ring goes inside the glove, I fold the excess glove back inside the glove, but I am going to cut it off shorter. Make sure you get a snug snug fit. (I thought I did and my left gloves came out of the whole show during a safety stop). I *need* the equalization tubes, but I lost them, and now I'm using bungee pieces with a knot on the inside of my seal and the outside of my seal. Without the tubes I ended up with balloon hands and couldn't even hold onto my reel. Many of my coworkers don't use anything, but they don't go below 60' most of the time.

Oh and double make sure no latex wrist seal (the bottlepart that gets "puffy") gets stuck between the cuff rings and the glove rings. I also thought I wasn't. I like the atlas 660 gloves too.
