      Dec 2018       Added a few drops of _paint thinner_ (mineral spirits) via eyedropper to a       dried-up bottle of BIC WiteOut. To my surprise it worked OK.       1) With vigorous shaking it dissolved the built-up crud in the bottle's neck,       which was impressive.       2) Fluid stroked evenly across paper with no lumps & hid the underlying print.       3) Dried in a couple minutes, not real quick but fast enough to be acceptable.       4) Wrote over the correction with a ballpoint pen smoothly with no cracking,       crumbling or other issue.       5) Using the thinned fluid gives a slight whiff of thinner, but no worse than       original.              BTW water did not work as a solvent at all.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
