What's the best way to burnish a tip without a lathe?

[poolplayer2093]

Eventually ill get a lathe, but until then I need a way to really burnish the sides of my tip so that it's really shiny. I really like how a tip plays when it's burnished good and the sides are hard and shiny.

I have a joe proper plastic burnisher but it seems too tricky since you can't see what it's doing until you pull it off. Sometimes depending on the shaft it'll make the overly conical.

Any advice? Anyone use the tip burnishing liquid from tiger?
Thanks,
Tim

I use a little spit and a dollar bill or a piece of a brown paper grocery bag
