How do you apply correction fluid to text written in pen?

Understanding Correction Fluid

Correction fluid, also known as liquid paper, is used to cover mistakes made when writing with pen on paper. It is a thick, white fluid that dries quickly and can be written over once dry. It’s important to apply it correctly, otherwise, you may end up with a messy, uneven finish that could ruin your document.

Preparing to Apply Correction Fluid

Before you start applying correction fluid, make sure you have a clean, dry workspace. You’ll also need a steady hand and a good quality correction fluid that matches the color of your paper. Hold the correction fluid bottle between your thumb and index finger and shake it thoroughly before opening it. This ensures an even consistency before application.

Applying Correction Fluid

To apply correction fluid, hold the pen with the tip facing downwards and spread the fluid evenly over the mistake. If you’re using a brush or applicator, use smooth, even strokes to cover the mistake entirely. Allow the fluid to dry for 10-15 seconds before writing over it. Be careful not to touch the wet correction fluid or you may smudge it.

Fixing Mistakes

If you make a mistake while applying correction fluid, wait for it to dry completely before trying to fix it. If the mistake is all over the page, wait for it to dry and use a clean eraser to remove the dried fluid from the page. If the mistake is only on a small section, carefully scrape away the excess correction fluid with a sharp blade or knife.

Tips for Using Correction Fluid

When using correction fluid, it’s important to remember these tips:

• Shake the bottle before using
• Apply the correction fluid slowly and evenly
• Allow the correction fluid to dry before writing over it
• Use a good quality correction fluid
• Clean any excess fluid off the brush to avoid creating bubbles or uneven coverage
