For years companies have been trying to create the ultimate correction fluid and for years ive been using them at school. Here is an insight into the detailed observations i have made amongst my biology notes in class when we have our teacher that nobody listens to.

which is the best

1) the original stuff. does the job fine but has a brush end and sometimes goes lumpy. plus it stinks

2)Pen. same stuff as above but hard to control and always leaves huge puddles of never drying stuff on the page

3)quick drying. doesnt smell as bad, has a sponge and dries quickly

4)the mouse. absolute crap. the thing always snaps or the stuff peels off the page.

5)aqua based. this is so bad. you cant use this on a fountain pen because the ink actually floats back to the top of the fluid and appears on the top for some bizzare reason. plus it smells

Incase any of you were wondering what to buy. go for the quick drying stuff. This has been brought to you by someone bored.

i used to use white bread to take away pencil mistakes.

[Bridgie]

what you used to rub bread on it? please explain

[Uglybob]

yeah rub bread on the page to take away the pencil marks

[Bridgie]

cor. you should be on trade secrets. you know whoever reads this now is going to go and rub bread on paper to see if it works. including me.

[Uglybob]

yeah the sad l'enfant naturelles

[Bridgie]

it sort of works. doesnt beat a rubber though. although i was using hovis, best of both which isnt all white. damn those marketing people

Very interesting findings Bridgie. At the moment I'm using Tipp-Ex Rapid Brush.

Perfect for my Advanced Physics classes where my teacher goes through the notes so fast that if you have to wait for the tipp-ex to dry you've missed half the lesson.

Blu-tac works quite well as a pencil eraser, and can also be used as a handy stand for a pencil.

When I went to college last year i used the aqua based tippex and found it crap. So far the best one I have used is the original and wh smiths own brand

[kendra k]

don't you folks have the roll-on correction tape? no mess, no fuss, and you don't have to wait for it to dry.

also, michael nesmith's mom created correction fluid... he's rad.

[Gigglyboots]

Thats the mouse kendra! But that stuff is fine, but it ends up peeling off, which is a right bummer, ah well!

[kendra k]

does it peel off? i don't use correction fluid or tape, i just do an elegant simple line through the error.

[Gigglyboots]

The mouse is like dried tip-ex on a plasticy tape, which it rolls off and sticks on the paper, but cos its totally dry it either flakes off, chips, or completely goes off. Yep, me too. Just scrit through it, cos if its in any class by the time you get out the tipp-ex and get it done then you end up missing and lagging behind for the rest of the class! What a discussion this has become.

[Bridgie]

oooh you don't want to go anywhere near that own brand stuff ickle penguin. this is a tipp-ex thread and now you've offended me

[Uglybob]

Scott Mills would have a field day.

[Bridgie]

lol. yeah you know he would

[Matt]

Why don't you just not *? Wouldn't need the stuff then.

[Everlast]

Scott Mills would have a field day.

Yeah i know Gigglyboots you had to use the word bummer didn't you[/quote]

[Sidders]

Be careful, we don't want another Scott Mills invasion.

[kendra k]

why not? it brightens up my sad dull life. he is my top radio1 dj after all...

[Ickle Angel]

I am very sorry for mentioning own brand and ruining your thread bridgie. Please forgive me

[Bridgie]

well after carefully contemplating how sincere your apology was for about 2 seconds i decided to forgive you.

[Funky Drummer]

aw...hug and make friends now!

[Matt]

Why don't you just not stick-up? Wouldn't need the stuff then.

Haha - should be "c.o.c.k up"
