 |
|
My school uses white out markers. They work fine but they are expensive and hard to find and worse, they also get lost often. This causes work place friction.
These markers are filled with white-out, blue-out, green-out etc. They are refillable.
If you know where they are sold, please let me know. I've been to 3 places so far when I looked for replacements and I found something close, but not exact. I need exact.
TY |

| Yes they are I'm sorry to say. These are much harder to find. |

| There are Staedtler (sp?) refillable white board markers for sale at Link-O in the COEX Mall. Not sure if that's what you're looking for, though. |

Yes very different. They look like regular whiteboard markers, but they have a removable cap at the end. You unscrew the cap and fill it with white-out. The white-out is the the ink that is used since the boards are green (if my memory serves me correctly). I think I remember seeing them at E-Mart before, but not positive on that.
Do you work at Oedae by any chance? |

If what my school uses are one and the same as what your school uses, then they are called "Aqua" pens.
I always just get more pens from the admin office's chock-a-block cupboard, but I do know that their stationery supplier is a chain called "Dream Depot", so you could try there. |

Am I the only one who thinks "white out" is the same as Liquid Paper? You know, that white goo you put on paper when you write something wrong with a pen? White correction fluid, I believe is the generic name. If you put what I'm thinking of as "white-out" on a white board, it would harden and stay there until it was removed with a hot paint scraper. |

That was also my first reaction when I read the OP's question!
"Aqua" pens contain 'ink' like correction fluid but don't stink as much and are used on blackboards in place of chalk - like a liquid chalk pen! Sounds impressive, huh. I have been using them at my new school since March, but they can leak on you and stain your clothes just like White Out, so in some ways I miss real chalk... at least you can get rid of the dust.

"White-out marker" is a confusing name to call those things. White-out is the generic name for a completely different product.
When I used them the teachers took to calling them "ink-markers". |

Yea, aqua pens. Thats what I was talking about. TY for the replies. Maybe I worry too much about this. With pens and pencils and such, I'm completely exhaustive that is I go through them like air. Except for these aqua pens, you can't lose them because the supply lady gets stingy, the fellow teachers always ask for them back and they even put their names on the pens. White board markers are ubiguous. These are not.
I don't want to get a reputation about losing these pens or keeping other teachers pens. I think I will avoid conflict if I get my own. |
