Someone, please revise this to include the type of ink eraser that's simply rougher (than a pencil eraser) so that it wears away the top layer of the paper, and with it, the ink writing. Ink erasers don't necessarily have fancy chemicals that react with the ink. thanks for listening.
Ink eradicator (under that name) used to be sold in the UK by stationers in the days when everyone wrote with fountain pens using water-based ink, before they were superseded by ball-point pens. It came as two separate small bottles, each with a top carrying a rounded-off glass rod. You applied liquid 1 to the writing error, using the glass rod in its bottle, and then liquid 2. I was given to understand that liquid 1 was sodium hypochlorite solution, and that liquid 2 was dilute hydrochloric acid. Perhaps someone who knows more about the product could confirm this, and also add a link to the sodium hypochlorite article.
'Sloans Ink Eradicator' made by Watermans Pens - I have a set before me as I type. Bottle 2 has a white sediment in it - what could that be?109.144.219.159 (talk) 11:34, 22 March 2021 (UTC)
