Why does White Out smell so bad?

Pencils work well for notes that may be corrected.

Sure, but I wanted notes that would last for several years, and I had color coding. Why do you care how I took notes?

I disagree with your premise. I like that smell!

Repeatedly.

I haven’t used the paint-on liquid version in ages. I’m used to the correction tape now - no clumps, no stink. Even that stuff, though, I haven’t used since college. I do almost everything on the computer now.

I use it frequently in my accounting practice for several purposes, the biggest of which is to make corrections on coversheets for folders of original documents we receive from customers. I also occasionally use it for corrections on tax forms when there is a simple mistake, but I don’t want to reprint the whole thing.
