Liquid Paper

whiteout


You may think that white out is white out, but Liquid Paper has an applicator that I have never seen before. Instead of a brush applicator it is a foam triangle.

The claim is that the foam triangle makes smoother strokes. Brush applicators can sometimes leave little ridges and cannot hold a load of white out like the foam applicator can so that you are not able to cover your boo boo in one or two strokes. With the Liquid Paper foam applicator you can easily cover a whole line of writing in one or two strokes. It also allows you to have better control of where the white out goes, and makes crisp edges.

Liquid Paper covers pen ink, pencil lead, and permanent markers with ease. I tested it on both colored and black super permanent markers.
Writing on the Liquid Paper (after it is dry) is the same as with any white out I have tried. I hate waiting, but you always want to let white out dry really well before trying to write on it, this brand is no different. Failing to wait could cause the white out to chip or look funny after you’ve written on it. The one thing that I think is wrong with almost all white out (at least ones that I have tried) is the color is wrong, not matching the paper. I hate being able to see where I’ve used it. With all the color matching technology for make-up today, you’d think the makers of white out would be using some of that technology to make the white out match the paper!
For mistakes, if you wipe it off right after you’ve applied it most of the Liquid Paper will come off. However, do not count on it to do so. The same goes for anything other than paper, like fabric, counters, desks, etc… Tip: Use a wet rag when wiping off Liquid Paper from anything other than paper.

I just noticed the warning on the bottle: Concentrating and inhaling Liquid Paper can be harmful or fatal. Contents are Flammable and of course keep out of reach of children. I never knew that white out could be so dangerous, yeah it smells like chemicals but it’s smell is nothing compared to something like the smell of hair dye. Which we all know can kill brain cells.

Hi!
I understand your dissatisfaction with the current correction fluids such as Wite- Out. It's very annoying when the equipment is limited to one surface, and even if used on white paper, you can see the residue.

I am currently working on a product that removes inks from multi-colored surfaces without a trace. If you or your friends are interested in this technology, follow The InKase Company on Facebook and I can keep you updated on this product!
