I used to use many scuffers. I have found that the Porcupine tip tool does a great job without taking tip material off . My tips last longer and take any kind of chalk.I rarely scuff my tip but when I do it is a small square of #200 sandpaper glued to a piece of scrap wood. It doesn't bother me if it gets left at the PH.
The round one looks like a 'brad' scuffer. I have 2 of them. I'm in Virginia if you want one.i think it was sold as "shark skin" ?
i dont really remember
its rough on one side and smooth on the other
it was sold as rectangles and circles
i tried to google it with no luck
can anyone provide a link?
it works well
thanks in advance....

Ditto. Tip pick is all ive ever needed. When used correctly my tips last pretty much forever too.I used to use many scuffers. I have found that the Porcupine tip tool does a great job without taking tip material off . My tips last longer and take any kind of chalk.
I only press the grit of the sandpaper into the tip -- I do not remove material. I use a rolling motion or sometimes rock the board on the tip.I use 400 grit and finish the tip using 1500 grit to smooth the tip’s surface.
Light strokes of the sandpaper only since I am not really reshaping the tip.
