When the pelt gets to dry just re-hydrate with a damp towel 10-15minutes and you should have little problem turning, I have done it 100's of time and have never torn a pelt.

Don't worry about putting the re-hydrated pelt back on the board fur out. The re-hydrated skin dries very well and quickly, unlike a green skin against wood.
