Tippex

[makems]

limited edition Chines bottles of Tippex are now correctors items

I have always wondered why bottles of Tippex have a warning in Braille on them. Do blind people really use it?

Mock ye not...…

Attaching something to a surface? Need to mark through a fixing hole before you drill it, but the hole is too small & deep for a pencil or you're marking onto an awkward surface like brick? A dab of the old-style solvent Tippex (not the new water based cr@p) on the end of a bolt, push through the hole, hey presto Robert's yer Mum's Brother.

I still wouldn't buy shares in a Tippex factory any more

I guess the bottle could be picked up in mistake for something else?
Edit, especially if it contained solvents.

I stopped using tippex when I could no longer see the screen, useless stuff in my opinion

Great for touching up marks on suspended ceilings.

Good for marking the timing marks on engines

Get a bargain on Tippex thinners. Not to be sniffed at

Good for marking the timing marks on engines

That's the only thing I've ever used it for.

Seem to remember Tipped was invented by mother of Monkee Pete Nesmith.

She invented Liquid Paper (same idea as Tipp-ex).
