Very confusing indeed, rather than try to translate, I'll just give you instructions.
Soak your skin in warm water for about 3-6 hours until it is very plyable. Lay it on a flat surface and center your flesh hoop on the skin. Place the rim over the flesh hoop. Tuck the skin over the flesh hoop and pull it through the inside of the rim. Center on the drum and apply downward pressure on the rim. Finger tighten the lugs, just enough to hold the head in place. Use needle nose pliers to pull on the excess skin and remove any folds there might be.
Use a razor blade to cut away the excess. I'd suggest putting a credit card or something in between the rim and the skin when cutting, so you don't slice into the new skin by accident. Dry it upside down on a flat surface so you don't end up with a concave head. I suggest atleast 4 days to a week before tightening it up, I think his suggestion was not long enough.
So there ya go, its actually very easy to do. If you can't follow the directions check out the lp website, they have videos to help.
Goodluck, can't wait to see the finished result.
