Cue tip compressor.. Has anyone had exp. of using one?

[Byrom]

Well I have to say I got all of the above for my tips like you guys but I actually hate doing them - I find doing my tip is a bit like my cooking - I mean I can cook well but somehow it is still always better when someone else makes it for me.

Sorry i shouldn't get lazy with abbreviation. I use a scalpel and a mini wood file or some would say rasp.

Are you talking about a proper scalpel and not a utility knife? Seems there are scalpels specific to the leatherworking industry that could be used.

its actually amazing, i put on an elk master not matter how soft and it presses it really good, u can do it by feel when pressing and see what works for you. done 2 tips for me and my mate. after shaping, 2 months now and the tip is still domed and holding shape. and plays well.
