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.
Wait, vodka?
I just took a q-tip and took a tiny little dot and put it on my mess up and it actually worked!
Love your response! I had a good belly laugh for half an hour!
You can mix white paint with a little bit of cornstarch... this makes the perfect consistency and the paper is as good as new!
Wow! It worked perfectly, never buying whiteout again. :) Thanks!
Use white gouache
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?
I would like to know how to make a liquid paper.
