You can cut it down a bit, use seal saver or in time it will stretch.

It depends on the material.

Latex can be stretched over a bottle and may loosen a little.

Silicone won't change and either will the mutant rubber used on Mobby's.

Pretty much all will require trimming if they're too tight.

I recommend having your dealer trim the seals (he should have done it as part of the sale), since you only get one chance and the first time you do it, it's going to look like you trimmed it with a rabid rat.

If your seals are wetsuit-type material, I had to order mine by size and don't believe they're trimmable, although could be wrong on that.

i have a hollis fx100, so it's latex.

Latex seals won't relax very much, even with passive stretching as you are doing. They generally require trimming if they are truly too tight, but you do not want to trim them to truly comfortable, because they will relax and become looser with time, and if you cut too much off, the seal will leak much earlier.
