Trimming Latex Seals

[soonerwink]

I just got my CNSE drysuit back from DUI. I had new neck and wrist seals installed. The wrist seals are heavy duty wrist seals. I have never trimmed latex seals before.
I went to dui-online to see how to video. The video explains a lot but also said not to follow these instructions on trimming heavy duty or RS seals, but doesn't say how to trim those.
Is there any steps different that I need to follow to trim heavy duty seals?

Don't follow the ring size guide for the regular latex seals, they are not accurate on the hd seals. Trim a little and try them on, repeat as needed.

Only trim if the seals are really restrictive and i mean very tight. Latex stretches a bit over time. If you do need to trim take small steps

Thanks for the help. I have trimmed them, was a little harder than expected. The scissors wouldn't work too well on the HD wrist seals, but worked perfectly on the neck seal. I had to use a razor blade on the HD seals. I think the next time I will stick with the standard latex seals instead of the heavy duty. They are easier to work with, and they feel more secure on. We will see next weekend when I get to dive it.
