If you are taling about a "cap" Ive seen where someone used titebond to apply the skin.
Soak skin section in water then towel off.
Apply titebond 2 to shaft and wrap skin.
rub out any bumps or air bubbles and let dry.
Then finished with tru-oil or a good poly
Same steps as if you were skinning a bow.

Do you need to wrap the skin in something (ace bandage maybe?) to keep the edges from curling up until it is dry?

I used CA on the ones I did,and just put them on like an arrow wrap. Glues snakeskin just as quick as it does your skin...
