   Re: liquid paper/whiteout: What is good

   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.
