Puzzle Guru's, Mistake Makers or interesting tip - Pen to Check out
Now, i'm not sure if this has been mentioned before or what but i cant' find anything on it.
In brief, my son's grandparents from scotland came over this week and his grandmother is into comps a little bit but mainly crossword ones. I saw
her writing with this pen and then she made a mistake and she just literally rubbed it out.
So after chattng to her a bit she said it was the most awesome thing she's come across great for thos crosswords that u have to send in the full
crossword or writing out that envelope and making a mistake and having to start a new one (i'm prone to this).
We looked in the local shops but couldn't find it, and by luck, i walked into my newsagency and thought nah they won't have it but low and
behold, they had some black ones there. So i bought one, came home and like all new toys had to test it out.. Now this thing writes like a pen but
rubs out like a pencil (if not better) It's awesome.. but then that is my opinion but thought i would let u guys know incase u might be
interested..
Pen is called.... Papermate Eraser.max - It cost me $3.80 (in my opinion.. well worth it since sometimes i need 3 envelopes cause i make mistakes on
them.. lol )
Click to get a bit of info and a piccie - Overseas Based site, but I have bought one in Australia.. lol |

There was a big kerfuffle when these came out because the banks were worried about cheques being altered! |

"Erasable Pens
Erasable pens were tremendously popular when they were introduced in the early 1980s. They combine the readability of brightly colored or black ink
with the eraser functionality of a pencil. While the pens are still manufactured under names like Gillette Eraser Mate, they aren't as commonly
used as they were before.
What makes erasable ballpoint pens so different from traditional ballpoint pens is the "ink" -- instead of being made from oils and dyes, it
is made of a liquid rubber cement. As you write, the ballpoint rolls on the paper and dispenses the rubber cement ink (the resulting mark is known as
a trace). Modern erasable pens work by allowing a ballpoint pen to leave a definite and intense black or colored trace which looks like an ink trace,
but is capable of being easily erased shortly after writing (usually up to 10 hours). After that time, the trace will harden and become non-erasable.
Erasable ink generally consists of 15 percent to 45 percent (by weight) natural rubber that is dissolved in a series of volatile organic solvents with
varying boiling points. " |

I think I go through at least three,
each time I address an envelope.
And then I get fed up and end up
sending them with lines crossed.
