Why Choose Tipp-Ex Correction Fluid
A Genuine Stationery Original
Tipp-Ex has been correcting written mistakes since 1959, making it one of the most established and trusted names in the correction fluid category. That heritage reflects decades of refined formulation for reliable, everyday use.
Fast-Drying White Fluid
Tipp-Ex White Fluid is formulated to dry quickly, allowing writing or printing to resume over the corrected area without long delays, a genuinely practical benefit in busy office and classroom environments.
Opaque, Clean Coverage
The fluid provides solid, opaque coverage that fully hides the original mark beneath it, rather than leaving a faint trace of the error showing through.
Practical Brush Applicator
Tipp-Ex Correction Fluid typically comes with a built-in brush applicator, making it easy to apply fluid precisely to small areas without mess or waste.
Trusted in Offices, Schools, and Homes
From classrooms to office desks, Tipp-Ex has remained a familiar and dependable stationery item for generations, valued for its consistency and ease of use.
Bulk-Ready 10 Pack Format
Sold in a practical Tipp-Ex 20ml 10-pack, the collection at Local Supplies is designed to keep offices, schools, and retail environments stocked without frequent reordering.
Explore The Tipp-Ex Range
- Tipp-Ex Correction Fluid 20ml The core product in the collection, a 20ml bottle of Tipp-Ex White Fluid with a brush applicator, designed for quick, clean coverage of written mistakes. Fast-drying and opaque, it's a dependable everyday correction tool.
- Tipp-Ex Correction Tape A mess-free alternative to fluid, Tipp-Ex Correction Tape applies a thin, dry strip of white film directly over mistakes with a simple roll-on applicator. There's no waiting for it to dry, making it a genuinely fast option for correcting errors in the middle of writing or filling out forms; you can write straight over it immediately.
- Tipp-Ex Correction Pens A pen-style correction tool designed for more precise, detailed corrections, ideal for smaller areas, fine text, or tight spaces where a brush applicator can be too broad. The pen format also tends to dry slightly faster than standard fluid, making it a practical option for quick fixes.
How To Use Tipp-Ex Correction Fluid
- Shake the bottle gently before use to ensure the fluid is well mixed and ready to apply smoothly.
- Use the built-in brush applicator to apply a thin, even layer directly over the mistake.
- Allow the fluid to dry fully before writing over it; rushing this step can cause smudging.
- For larger areas, apply a second thin coat once the first has dried rather than one thick layer, which dries more slowly and unevenly.
- Replace the cap securely after each use to prevent the fluid from drying out in the bottle between uses.
