Apologies for a posting not about birds, but if answered, it might
appreciably help b-aus subscribers.

For decades I've been using some form of "White-out", "Liquid Paper" or
whatever for minor corrections to typed pages.  Over time, the material gets
thicker and thicker until not really useable.  I assume that some solvent
evaporates and is lost each time the container is opened.

It used to be easily fixed by adding "Thinner for Correction Fluid" ... but
such thinner is no longer available, as far as I have been able to
ascertain. 

Could it be that manufacturers of liquid paper have realised that they can
sell a lot more of it if customers have to dispose of partially used bottles
because the material is no longer useable?

So I wonder whether some b-aus subscriber knows what chemical it was that
formed the thinner?  One might then buy it separately.

    TIA

        Syd
