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?

To MARIE: I found your ? about how 2 make homemade whiteout, found a post with impossible to find chemicals, so scrolled down a bit to THIS post: Vodka, a splash of white paint (try water soluable rather than enamel), a bit of flour + 2 spoons of water. Further comment was: It will also wash out of clothing & material very nicely. SO - This vodka recipe sounds like a plan--Think I'll try it.

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

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

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.

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

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.

I use a great deal of white out to clean up mistakes on paper. How do you make white out, and how do you clean out the bottles to reuse? Thanks for your help in this situation.

I have been told that white out is simply a little bottle of enamel paint. If you buy a small container of white paint in the hardware store, it will give you a lot of refills. To clean out the bottle, you can use mineral spirits or turpentine in a well ventilated area. (01/07/2005)

Vodka, a splash of white paint, and bit of flour (with 2 spoons of water). Makes very nice whiteout (and comes off from clothes quite easy, but sticks to paper). (02/24/2008)

Here is what I found on ehow.com:

The Chemicals:

Correction fluid is made using an assortment of chemicals to create a fluid that spreads across normal typing or writing errors. The first chemical is titanium dioxide, which has a color index of pigment white, the standard color for correction fluid. Next are the solvent naphtha, petroleum, and light aliphatic, which mix with the initial chemical. Resin, mineral spirits, colorants, fragrance, and dispersant also combine with the rest of the chemicals to create the opaque, white substance.
