Another ink situation and question

[Quofalcon]

Afternoon y'all. I've been a bit out of practice with my inking (traditional) and decided to do some today. Lots of mistakes caused by my somewhat shakey hand has used up the rest of my white-out pen I have. I've heard that you can lift some ink off the surface of the paper with a thin blade (box cutter, exacto knives) and I'd like giving that a try. I wonder if the type paper you use is important to whether or not you can do that?
The white out pens are ok but the tips are blunt, leaves alot of whiteout on the surface in thick spots/lines and I'd prefer it if I could use white ink or a bottle of whiteout with a pen (needle tip) to correct mistakes.
I'm going to have to do some shopping soon, along with getting a new desk drafting lamp too.
I have seen small bottles of white ink, at an expensive price.
What do you consider good?

I'm not a fan of scratching the ink off the paper. It can create an interesting effect, but I wouldn't recommend it for corrections. There are several bleed proof whites on the market. I like the one by Daler Rowney called Luma. You can use it with pen or brush, but I prefer to use a bamboo pen. If it's a common problem for you, you might consider using scratchboard.

In addition...

Daler-Rowney Pro Inks
About $4.25 an ounce at Blicks, etc.
Traditional white out used in graphic arts, production and cartooning for many many decades.

Dr. Ph. Martin's Bleedproof White
About $6.25 an ounce at Blicks, etc.
This will cover markers and dyes that the Pro White above won't.

Hey guys, since you're on the subject I'd like to ask a question of my own.

What I want to ask is what the consistency, of these whites mentioned, is. Around here all I can find is a white from Royal Talens, their Ecoline series. It has a thick consistency and doesn't have much coverage. What I am looking for is a white ink that has a watery consistency, like black ink, otherwise the white comes out too thick when I try to apply it with a brush.

I have tried to thin the white with water but then it's just like slightly white tinted water when I get the fluidity I need and it just ends up soaking the paper and not laying down any white to cover up anything underneath.

The Luma Bleedproof can be used right out of the bottle. It's not thin but not as thick as Pro White. I don't know of any white paint that is both watery and opaque enough to cover a solid black without having to use several coats, even acrylic.

I'm realize there probably is not a white that can do that, I am just looking for a white that has the fluidity of ink but that also has some covering power instead of being lightly tinted water that barely marks the paper.
