Switched from wet suits to dry suits on the Anacortes pipeline job, still figuring out the gloves

For my first 4 seasons I dove wet on everything, even winter work up in Puget Sound, and I just dealt with the cold. Now I'm in a crushed neoprene dry suit with dry gloves and the difference on a 90 minute bottom run is huge, I'm not shaking when I get back to the stage. The problem is my hands feel clumsy in the dry gloves and I fumbled a bolt on the flange twice on Tuesday. Anybody got a glove system they trust for fine work, or do I just need more bottom time to get the feel back?
