Other: Dry suit gasket repair

Hi All-

I’ve got an nice old Kokotat goretex dry suit, but its gaskets are all tired & worn.
I just bought a set of new gaskets to replace them .
I have done arm & leg gaskets on it before, and a neck gasket on a dry top.

But the neck gasket on the Kokotat seems a lot more difficult to put on.
Anyone have any tips on how it is done? Do I need any special tools or clamps?
I got a big tube of aquaseal...

Could I do it in sections?
Just gluing what I can align & clamp overnight?

Thanks!

I used Kokatat's instructions...
