correction fluid
Liquid paper cover
Correction fluid is a white liquid applied to paper to cover typing or writing errors, allowing corrections to be written over the dried coating.
It comes in small bottles with brush applicators or as tape dispensers.
Wite-Out and Liquid Paper are common brand names.
The product has become less essential as word processing replaced typewriters.
