Do you like white-out/correction tape? What do you think of it being banned at schools and workplaces? Should they ban all types; i.e. such as tapes and the ones in the bottles?

correcting mistakes - When I made errors in writing, I like to use liquid white-out to cover my misspelled words.
For correcting typing mistakes I like to use white-out tape. But for hiding written mistakes I prefer the liquid form. Why? It only a matter of convenience. When you type, you just need to put the tape on top of the misspelled words and press the keys. On written words you just wipe out unwanted errors with a tiny brush soaked with the liquid.

I don't really like its smell seeing as it actually harmful enough to damage your brain cells. I know alot of people who just love sniffing it side-effects not included but they don't really mind it. I think the ban is more of a safety measure but if they found any way to make any of these non-toxic then I got no complaints as it really is useful.^_^

I do not like the whiteout tape as I have tried that before and it does not work very well at all. I prefer using the whiteout in a bottle as all you do is shake the bottle up and just put dabs of the liquid on the mistakes. I do not think they should ban either type as it is very effective and people make mistakes all the time. Erasers are not very effective in my opinion and wear out too easy.

I like white out tape and the little paint brush type.. Well, In some cases they banned it because students would paint all over the desks and all over the walls, and were inhailing the chemicals out of it. Instead of banning it.. They need to enforce rules on vandalism, and on substance abuse... The types of whiteout on both is fine... Just if people would not abuse it then they would not have reasons to ban it.. - DNatureofDTrain
