Hey, hey it's Liquid Paper!
Bette Nesmith Graham, mother of of Monkees member Michael Nesmith, made the first correction fluid in her kitchen with tempera paint and a blender.
Her second job as painter of holiday windows at the bank was the inspiration behind her invention. Graham noticed “with lettering, an artist never corrects by erasing, but always paints over the error. So I decided to use what artists use. I put some tempera water-based paint in a bottle and took my watercolor brush to the office. I used that to correct my mistakes.”
