Getting out of wrist seals

[stackingreasyBBs]

Just got a new pair of wrist seals put on my Viking Xtreme, and I was wondering about the easiest (on the diver and the seals) way to get them off my wrists. I have no desire to rip another seals. So how do you all do it? I've heard of the KY trick, a friend of mine says he pulls open the seal with one hand and pulls his hand out, and the Viking manual is a little vague, but does stress not pulling on the latex, only on the suit material. So, opinions?

Your friend got it right, one thing you have to be careful about, is not to use your nail when lifting the seal from your wrist.

I have a similar question, I've got neoprene seals, is there a trick to getting out of both neck and wrist seals without help from someone?
