Whites Fusion Seal Sizing Question

[SteveR]

I have a Whites Fusion; brand new. The neck and wrist seals (latex) are way way too tight and I need to trim them before I dive the suit.

Anybody have any idea how the seal rings correspond to next or wrist diameter?

I realize they will stretch but I need to cut them pretty close or I can't use the suit.

I hate to just starting cutting without some kind of general idea.

Thanks

Before cutting the neck seal, try stretching it over a tank overnight to let it stretch out some. If that doesn't work, stretch it over something, PVC pipe or tank might work, and use a razorblade to take one right off at a time. You can always go back and take a ring off, but you can't put one back on.

Found my answer at the White's site on the FAQ page:

Correction............the link on the White's Manufacturing website is gone. They redid their website last week and the FAQ where this was located was modified and the pdf file is no longer there.

I trimmed them with a pair of sewing scissors and all seals now fit snug and leak proof.

I think I took off 2 rings on the wrists and 4 rings on the neck seal. It is still pretty snug on land but seems fine underwater.
