Yes,

We have tried White liquid paper between 2 pieces of glass. Fully fused the brightness and clarity are intact.

We actually use it to simulate a snow storm

If you are looking for adding some bright clear looking white to your fused piece, you have to try it to believe it. What is in Liquid paper that prevent it to evaporate or melt, I have no clue but I suspect that it might be Mica base.

Now let your imagination go and you will have tons of ideas

What happens if you use it on the top layer? Will it stay bright white? Ir does it yellow?

Wonder if they use zinc oxide. Anyone ever try the life guards friend in a kiln. (Mafia members need not respond.)

I had quite a trial finding zinc oxide locally when I was experimenting with silverpoint. A pharmacy finally found a jar in their basement! Sheesh. I haven't tried the Liquid Paper, but really thought I was onto something when I accidently fused some white and gold paint pen and it fused beautifully. Then I proceeded with a whole kiln-load that came out black and blotched and totally icky. So much for that brilliant idea. Hope the whiteout gives you more consistent results.

The questions came to me more than once.

I guess their is another commecial name. White Liquid paper is the stuff that you can find at stationary store to erase a mistake made by typing. You apply this over your mistake and than re type on top and cannot see that you mess up.They use to sell them in small bottle, but my kids are now buying it for school in a Pen format, I know that they are also available in small tape as well.

The Commercial brand name that I used is Paper mateand the bottle is also called Correction fluid . It is apprarently made by Sandford, in Bellwood.Il 60104, a divison of Newell rubbermaid
thir si also a1-800-668-4575

Jewelers use white out lots to act as an "anti-flux"...to keep solder from flowing to areas we don't want soldered.

The fumes from this stuff are supposed to be toxic. It's not going to be the problem for glass people using in a kiln that it is for jeweler's who have their faces over the piece they are soldering, but venting is always a good idea.

typing? mistakes? do you put it on the computer screen? :?: is it in the same aisle as buggy whips?

You see Charlie, I am old enough that computer did not exist when white liquid paper was invented.

If you want to use it on your computer screen, go right ahead but beware your hair might also start tuning white

I was told that white out has some health warnings, that it might do something with the brain or nerves. Anyone know about this? We used white out and had great results on the surface of glass and even on the bottom. Since the warning of hazards with the use I stopped using it. Health/hazard warning??

I thought the new white out these days has been reformulated so that it is no longer toxic??? :?

Terry:
I've tried to figure this out. Half of what I find, sez toxic, the other half sez not toxic. White-Out comes in many brands and soluability. Go to Office Depot and stand & read the kinds. It may take some experimenting to find the kind that works best for glass.

And until someone tells us FOR SURE that it's not toxic I continue to use it but vent it away from my face (or kiln).

Hope this is helpful

LOL. It's also used by artists who still draw by hand using pencils and inks.... to cover up a line they want changed. Then you make a copy of the goobered design and no one is the wiser.

Interesting. I can see some creative potential.... stenciling white on colored glass and sandwiching under clear. Applying a thin overall coat, and scratching out with a needle to reveal the color below.... would look etched. Hmmm. What is in whiteout anyway? And how does the cost compare in quantity to a bag of white enamels?
