For those who write a lot or work with documents, it is often very important that there are no marks on the paper. Therefore, proofreaders have now become one of the most popular stationery products. This is a device for covering up mistakes. When using it, your notebook or document will look clean, without marks. There are several different types of correctors. Their choice may depend on the purpose of use. One of the most popular is the corrector pen. It is easy to put in a pencil case or bag and carry with you.
What are proofreaders?
A text proofreader is a device that can be used to easily correct what is written or printed on paper. Such stationery supplies are most in demand by high school students, students, and office workers. The proofreader allows you to make precise corrections, after which there are no blemishes left in the document, and the outline will look perfect.
The first corrector was invented in the USA in the middle of the twentieth century. One typist, Bette Nesmith, came up with a white liquid that could be used to cover up mistakes. She became famous for this, and then founded a large stationery company. The correctors were a white liquid that dried quickly after being applied to paper. It hardens into a crust through which the error cannot be seen. On top of this white mark you can write the correct letter or word.
Types of correctors
At first, this stationery was only a liquid that was applied to the mistakes with a brush. Now this variety is also common. Such correctors are sometimes called “stroke”. In addition to a brush, a foam roller can be used to apply the liquid.
And recently, correction pens and correction tape have become increasingly popular. They are more convenient for covering up minor mistakes and are less noticeable on paper. The tape generally belongs to dry correctors, since you don’t need to wait for it to dry, you can write on it right away.
Correction tape: description. Where is tape corrector used and how to use it?
Oil based putty.
Never use petroleum based putty around double glazed windows. Vegetable oils aggressively attack the thiokol compounds of polymers, and over time they will cause frames to crack.
This is already the second film since the beginning of the year, and we haven’t even studied for a month. We purchased this tape at the Spar hypermarket at the auction price of 59 rubles, instead of 100 rubles.
On the back you can find information about the product and manufacturer contacts.
There are a great many languages there, and they haven’t forgotten about the Russian-speaking buyer. Well, we didn’t count the information, we all know how to use it, it’s not our first tape, and it won’t be the last :)
By the way, this particular correction tape is compact in size and fits easily in your hand. It covers up mistakes well :) And most importantly, unlike liquid putty, you don’t need to wait for it to dry, the tape comes into contact with the notebook paper, already dry and suitable for writing.
Of course, the use of correction tape, as well as correction fluid, is noticeable in the notebook, but it is still better than corrections and crossing outs. I recommend the Tipp-Ex correction tape for purchase, I give it a high score, the downside is that it runs out quickly, maybe it’s only with us?! I thank all readers of my review for your attention! Happy shopping and easy studying.
By the way, I ordered NARVA 48629 RPB for 472 rubles to replace my collective farm xenon (without long-range) from existential. (not as an advertisement, I just haven’t really found it cheaper anywhere).

The corrector motor can be removed without disassembling the headlight, it turns and snaps off, then you pull it towards you, it is stuck into the reflector on a round hinge, and is pulled out using force. The main thing is not to overdo it so as to break the reflector itself.

Repair of a measuring tape: the device inside. How to repair and assemble a construction tape measure? To do this, you need to apply the solvent to a cotton pad, wipe the stain and leave for twenty minutes, then moisten the cotton wool with the product again and wipe the area contaminated with the touch-corrector. To completely remove the stain, you will have to change several pads. Ask, I'm in touch!
Corrector pen: general characteristics
Applying correction fluid to paper with a brush usually leaves a very thick mark. In this way, it is inconvenient to cover up small blots, for example, if one letter or even part of it is written incorrectly. That's why pen proofreaders were invented. They dispense white liquid through a thin metal or plastic tip. Therefore, it is very easy to perform a targeted error correction.
Such devices are a handle, which can be thick or even shaped like a regular one. Its body is made of soft plastic and filled with correction fluid. It gets onto the paper through a fine tip. There are two options for supplying liquid. In the first one, you need to press a little on the tip. Some of it will go inside and open the exit of the liquid. The other option is more convenient - it repeats the principle of operation of a regular ballpoint pen.
Pencil corrector
It looks almost no different from a regular pen, but instead of paste it is filled with correction fluid, which comes out through a small hole (1 mm) in the metal tip.
The advantage of this type is that it allows you to make point corrections to the smallest details of the text and even correct character flaws. But deleting a large piece of text with a pencil is not very convenient. In this situation, it clearly loses to liquids with a brush.
Types of correction fluids
Both liquid concealers and pens use different liquids. Typically this white mass is low molecular weight polyvinyl chloride. It can be dissolved in various chemicals: trichlorethylene, titanium oxide or barium sulfate. Depending on the base, there are three types of correction fluids.
- Water-based pens are the most popular. This correction fluid is safe, non-flammable, and odorless. Therefore, it is most suitable for schoolchildren. But water-based liquid dries slowly and can soak thin paper. It freezes at low temperatures, but the advantage is that when the tip dries, it can be soaked with water.
- Alcohol-based pens are more in demand among students and office workers. After all, such a liquid dries quickly, making it possible to immediately continue working. In addition, it does not freeze at low temperatures. Its disadvantages include its rapid drying inside the pen if the cap is not tightly closed, a strong unpleasant odor and the risk of fire.
- Recently, oil-based stationery pen correctors have appeared. They combine all the advantages of previous models, but are still rare.
Correction roller tape
This type has its drawbacks: it will not help in correcting small point errors, its width is standard (4-6 mm), so when correcting small font with small line spacing, you can easily go beyond the edges of the lines.
The Attache correction tape allows you to write immediately after correcting the text. A removable cap protects the working unit from drying out. Has an increased length (20 m). Tape width - 5 mm.
The Attache tape corrector is a compact device that can easily be placed in a pencil case or pocket. It is equally effective on any type of paper. After photocopying it is completely invisible. The device has a removable block, which can be easily replaced with a new one after using the coloring composition.

Correction pen: how to use?
Such devices are more convenient, they use liquid more economically, and you can cover up minor mistakes. But many people have a question about how to use such a corrector correctly. It can take the form of a regular pen or a thick felt-tip pen. But they have the same operating principle. There is a metal ball inside that helps mix the liquid and prevents it from drying out. To do this, shake the handle vertically before use.
Then place the tip of the corrector against the area that needs to be covered. The simplest models act like a regular ballpoint pen. Others need to be squeezed a little so that the liquid begins to flow to the tip. For this purpose, the body of such handles is made of elastic thin plastic. In some models, you need to press the tip a little so that it is hidden in the body. This opens the path for correction fluid.
After use, the pen must be tightly closed to prevent the corrector from drying out.
The most common models
The corrector pen is now one of the most common office supplies. All well-known companies producing such products produce many models. There are several of the most common ones that are popular due to their high quality, ease of use and low price.

- Many users choose inexpensive correctors. These include products. Despite their low cost, they are of high quality, odorless, and the liquid dries quickly.
