Adding a section on Abuse
I'm going to add a section on abuse of Correction Fluid as an inhalent, and i think i should add a few links to the various sections on the different brands of Correction Fluid. JaMiE P 04:29, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

Done. This knowledge better be useful; i've just broken the law and have huffed an inhalent just for wikipedia.

Wikipedia is not the right place for original research. I'm afraid it's not the appropriate vehicle for your section. SaintCahier 13:23, 11 May 2006 (UTC)


 * The abuse section is potentially useful, but the killer ingredient was 1,1,1-Trichloroethane, now banned under the Montreal Protocol. Does correction fluid still get you high? TheMadBaron 07:25, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Organic solvents are psychoactive when deliberately inhaled This is a ridiculous blanket statement and quite untrue. Ethanol is an organic solvent - I don't think anyone has managed to get high by sniffing vodka! Some (and a relatively small number) or organic solvents may be psychoactive; the 1,1,1-trichloroethane in correction fluid was replaced by an alternative some years ago, so the product no longer produces any effects when inhaled. I should also point out that 1,1,1-trichloroethane was banned (along with many other halogenated compounds) for environmental reasons, not because of a perceived inhalation hazard. I would also tend to avoid tabloid hysteria phrases like "killer ingredient" - 1,1,1-trichlorethane is harmful as it increases the risk of cancer. The compound which can cause death by disrupting the heart rhythm is chloroform, not 1,1,1-trichloroethane. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.75.75.166 (talk) 07:26, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

As taken from the article...:

"==Trivia== Most correction fluid was flammable until the release of the movie Gremlins 2: The New Batch wherein Gizmo makes a bow and flaming arrow out of a paperclip, rubberband, and bottle of Wite-Out."

I don't fully understand this statement, does this mean that the movie somehow made the fluid unflammable? --Smoothtofu 22:55, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Done. 219.74.173.235 10:56, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

What about correction fluid available in pen format?

What about Snopake? It is claimed to be the first such product. --IanBrock (talk) 16:15, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Totounel
What is this? The only references to it on-line are to this article and copies of it, which sounds very unlikely to me if it's a genuine solvent. Toluene, perhaps? Tevildo (talk) 11:50, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I note from the page history that it should be toluene. Link fixed. Tevildo (talk) 11:52, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't normally edit someone's comment except to fix markup errors, but Tevildo already struck through it, and this is a page about correction fluid, so please indulge me. —80.192.180.160 (talk) 21:28, 13 June 2014 (UTC)

Manufacturing Process Section
The section on the manufacturing process appears to be meant for kindergarteners. It contains close to no useful information on the said manufacturing process. 78.113.95.138 (talk) 00:03, 23 March 2019 (UTC)

Lids attached to brushes?
