probably if you started in the middle of the drop bend and wrapped toward the top, you could then start in the middle again, wrap around once to cover the end and then wrap the bottom. that way you could wrap to self tighten both ways and not have a flap of material to unravel. It would probably get pretty bulky in that one area though, but how often are your hands in the middle of the bend anyhow?

...I sure hope that didn't sound too confusing. I'll draw a picture in paint later if you need it.
