Question QCS Rolock 90 Leak

[beldridg]

Every time I used to use lubricant of any type, it made the ring rotate when I went to put on the glove. That might have been when I had the o-rings that made it really hard to lock in the glove so it would torque it and force it to rotate out of place.

I'll have to try it again with some lubricant when I have some time and dives that I don't care if I miss.

I think you'll find water-based lube dries out pretty quick and the ring in the suit won't budge, that was my experience at least. I still need to carefully use a plastic bicycle tire lever to remove the rings from the suit.

Yesterday I applied water+dawn solution to the seal and noticed that the suit-side ring rotated when I tried to put on the glove. It was beneficial, as I rotated the ring into a proper position after messing up the alignment. By the time I got home, the suit-side ring did not rotate at all.

Well, first leak is sealed. I don't think the factory sat the wrist seal the best way. Now, I am dealing with a minor glove leak. Sounds like I will have to replace the o-ring.
