Correction fluids (also known as white-out) are paper-coloured liquids used to cover unwanted marks made by ink pensor typewriters. You apply the fluid using a small brush or felt tip contained in the lid, or it can be applied as a pen. When the fluid dries, it looks just like paper, and can be written over again. If you make a photocopy of the original sheet, the mistake is invisible. It's used as a convenient method of quickly and effectively hiding errors or making amendments to original documents.
