neoprene or latex?

If it is latex and cone shaped there are normally "rings" inside to use as a guide to cut to make it bigger. If you are not sure ask somoene.

If neoprene I'll have to leave that to someone else as I have never owened one of those....

Neoprene neck seals will take a set; find something to stuff inside & let sit overnight. Try a juice can or coffee can, something just a tad larger than your neck.
The neoprene will resume its choking characteristics over the next day or so, but will be fine if you remove the "plug" just before the dive.
After it is well broken in you can get away with a little snipping, but only if it needs it REAL bad.
BTW, I have that seam tape here, you need directions for "shrinking" your neoprene neck seal?
How many suits do you have now???

I have a neoprene neck seal and it was extremely tight for my neck the first couple of times I dove it. I was very uptight about stretching it. I didn't want to mess it up. I actually used a roll of paper towels. The big industrial type. Make the roll about 2" inches bigger than your neck and let it sit for 1 day. Take it out for a day, then put it back in the day before you go diving. This method worked very well for me.
