I use the flat side to pack the threads tightly agains each other as I wrap and the round side to burnish the wrap when it's complete

hmm .. i've seen some people using the flat side to pack the both ends.. i dont really use the plastic burnishing tool as i think mine has some burrs , and it causes the thread to fray slightly..

Use the round side for burnishing (smoothing). Use the flat side and point for packing the threads or placing them.
