Shaping a tip?

The picture on my post is a black Phoenix medium laminated tip. It's the first laminate I've ever used. At first the sound and feel felt strange to me always having been an elk or BD player. However once I started to get used to ignoring the sound, which wasn't too hard because the results I was getting with side and spin were good, I really liked the consistency. Ive had a lot of inconsistent elks and BD's and won't be returning to them now I've found these.

How do you get the tip so neat looking with a black finish round the edge?
I'm using black Phoenix tip that's why the side is black
I cut the sand paper strip to almost the same as the tip height and carefully just sanding the tip and not to touch the ferrule. (it may have some scratches but can be fine sand later)
Increasing the grade of the sand paper gradually so the side of the tip will finish nicely especially to normal press tip where there's "hair" sticking out.
For paper I used grade 380, 600, 1000, 2000 then Steel wool grade 00000 to finish off.
Then I apply clear wax (Kiwi) to polish the tip and brasso to clean the ferrule.

Not sure of past history( member stuff). But maybe it is a good idea "taking the beef off the grill" to find snooker enlightenment? Peace! Don't shoot me please! ?

They polish and wax the ferrule in order to protect it from chalk. chalk is a chemical stuff. pro's doing this almost every day.
*A snooker player should keep his stuff neatly . It's part of the deal between crap players.
So at the end , *you (as a good player) do'nt have to worry about this part , indeed .
