drysuit cuff ring for Andy

[Uncle Pug]

Andy... sorry this is the best I could do with my camera... it doesn't want to focus close... so what we have here is a real fuzzy image.

Basically you need to turn the sleeve inside out and then shove the ring into the sleeve *suit side* of the ring first until it is in the seal... then place an o-ring over the seal in the groove of the ring nearest the *glove side of the ring* (which will be furthest in the arm at this point.)

Now comes the hard part... turn the sleeve right side out working the sleeve back over the ring.

Then put the other o-ring over the seal in the groove behind the first one.

The finish product is a seal turn in on itself with a captured 0-ring inside and another o-ring outside. I put a section of wheel barrow inner tube over the exposed seal/suit interface and the outer o-ring.

I would take one apart and go through it step by step taking pictures... but with my camera what's the use

Besides... I sure that someone has posted a series of pics on the web already... I just haven't been able to find it for you.

Maybe this isnt the problem Pug, but my camera also has this issue and the way I solve it is...(assuming your cam has similar functionality)

Get focus lock on something of similar distance by pushing half-way down or whatever. Holding the focus button halfway down to keep that focuslock, re-center the cam on the image you wanted to take and shoot.

If this is way basic and you have a different problem, then ignore...

Here is the instruction page for the people who I am pretty sure are making the DC gloves.
