I can't find a 'real' recipe for white out online. I suppose you could use white paint on a tiny brush. Maybe somehow get white chalk dust goopy enough to stick to paper?

You can mix white paint with a little bit of cornstarch... this makes the perfect consistency and the paper is as good as new!

I just took a q-tip and took a tiny little dot and put it on my mess up and it actually worked!

how can I make tinted 'white' out; need for colored envelopes and cards - noe - food coloring not useable since it's water soluble. I guess I just get big cans of oil based paint and use a q-tip?! Not quite... another suggestions?

I think it would be really hard to match a paper color with homemade colored white out. It seems like the correction would show badly. But if you want to try this, I would talk to a craft store and find a water soluable dye or paint to mix with your white base.

Good luck and let us know how it turns out.

8 oz of tempera paint (whatever color)
2 oz mineral spirits
2 oz titanium dioxide powder

Put in a blender on medium for 1-2minutes.

You can mix white paint with a little corn starch and it works another thing is to mix water contact solution and cornstarch like i said I tried this home and it worked so please try it out works amazing its like almost free white out.

I used some fine acrylic paint on the messy part, and if it is colored paper, I would mix some colors to get the color I wanted.

Maybe you can just use a different color of paint instead of dying a portion of your white for the envelopes... IDK.

Those correction tapes and the pens are okay but sometimes you get more than you need in the form of a blob. I use the fluid with a brush. They have some with a sponge applicator. The brush works best for me.

I just think it with vodka. Rubbing alcohol works too. I just never know where the rubbing alcohol is. Vodka, I can find. If you use water, you need distilled water so bacteria won't cause mold or mildew

I don't think you can. If you need a product like white out that is colored, perhaps you should try craft paint. Some colors might be opaque enough to work. Some colors are transparent, and won't do the same job.

Artist acrylic paints are also available, but they are more expensive. Why do you need colored white out?

They make buff/ivory white out.

Yes, but is it still Whiteout? If Whiteout falls in the forest... Still I suppose Pinkout or Buffout just doesn't have the same ring to it.

To get the right color for making your own correction fluid, take the item (paper, envelope, folder, whatever you are attempting to match) to a paint department. Then you just have to hope that one of these concoctions for making your own correction fluids works.

Not all paper is white, that's why.

Are there any natural resources in White Out? If so, what are they, and how are they used in it?
