Unlike Stephen King and the late Peter David,
since childhood I have always preferred and
insisted upon erasable typing paper,which as
far as I can tell is no longer manufactured.

I actually signed up to buy through Ebay (I
decline to use their stylized anomalous capitalization)
in order to get some,and after delivery hiccups
caused by their database thinking they knew better
than I do what my ZIP+4 is based on the address
variant I tried to use,I have now taken possession
of over a thousand sheets after having just about
run out.

The sheets themselves may be fifty years old,
though the packages I got are mostly never-opened;
they say they are from the Eaton Paper division of
Textron,and Textron bought Eaton's then-parent Gorham
in 1967 and renamed the division Sheaffer Eaton when
they bought the Sheaffer pen company in 1976.

(Some other packages available online are attributed
to Sheaffer Eaton,and the Eaton paper factory in
Pittsfield was shut just before Textron sold Sheaffer
Eaton to Gefinor in 1987,which has since sold it in
pieces).

Now I can use my typewriter and know I can erase
mistakes again!!

Isn't there a solvent involved? Wouldn't it have evaporated?

I just use white out.

The paper has a smooth coating.
I will soon know if it has lost its effectiveness.

I just use white out.

I've always thought that was bothersome.
