I actually tied down the zonker strip about halfway back on the shank and it took 2-3 wraps to get to the head area. The skin is pretty thick, so you can't really let the turns overlap, you just have to wrap it closely enough that the skin edges meet each other, if that makes any sense. It helps to wet down the fur as you go so it doesn't get trapped under the wraps or the thread and you go. I stripped some hair off of the skin both at the tie-in point and when tying down at the head area.

Does that help?
