White out tape can be bought in the form of a large spool for typewriter use or as a handheld device for written text or other types of projects.
How to use a handheld correction tape
Find a firm surface to place the paper on such as a table or countertop. Hold the white out tape right at the beginning of the text you want to go over. Set the tip of the correction tape applicator firmly over the paper and make sure the entire width of the tip of the tape is in proper contact with the paper.
Also, check if the bottom edge of the correction taps is perfectly lined up with the bottom of the line or word you wish to correct. Hold the applicator at an angle that is away from the paper so that only the tip of the correction tape touches the paper. Now, apply firm pressure and move the correction tape slowly across the text. Once you’re done, just pick the applicator up off the sheet. This will automatically break the correction tape.
You can repeat this process to cover up other lines, or you can reuse over the same text you just covered up in case any of the text was too large to be covered up in one go.
