My attempts to use the Chinese finger a couple of years ago were futile. I would have had to put such a length in to get it to grab that the part of it would be left in the block. This is because they are not generous with the seal length. If you use something like fishing line to tie onto the seal, the seal does not want to conform to the slot and it tends to spread under pressure. If you use a funnel, it will ease the seal into the slot. Otherwise you have to use a flat bladed screwdriver or similar device to coax it in.
