Hi all,

I acquired a pair of Northern diver neoprene dry gloves a few weeks ago and I'm having great trouble getting them to seal. I followed the youtube video to fit them, but unlike the video I'm not fitting these to very thin neoprene, but to the 4mm neoprene of my Scubapro Everdry 4.
Once I'd finished applying the suit seal, getting the ring system over the seam of my suit cuff was an epic pain in the bahookie! Managed it in the end with the help of a friend - the gloves were amazing down to 13m, then both totally flooded :(
I moved the rings further down the cuff (where they fitted much easier) but I have the same problem - total flooding at around 10m.

When these are dry, I love them - but it only lasts for a few minutes then they flood again! Anyone got any suggestions?
Also, I'm now out of suit seal - can anyone recommend a god product for that (it's not to glue anything, just to provide a silicon seal that the ring system fits over)?
