If stretching over an object hasn't worked after 24 hours, it isn't going to work at all.
Your options are;
(1) Have bigger seals fitted or
(2) Trim the seals.
(1) is obviously needless expense if you can avoid it whilst with (2) if you make a mistake you might end up needing new seals anyway :depressed:
I think in this case I'd give trimming a go if I were you. Sharp scissors, going slowly and only doing a little at a time are the key.
As others have said KY lube works really well. Surgilube is slightly cheaper but, if you want really cheap, vet-lube (intended for the internal examination of farm animals) works and comes in gallon containers. However, buying large quantities of any such lubricants will get you some funny looks and explaining, 'Oh, it's to help me get my rubber suit on' almost never helps.
