“When I first went to use this, I just assumed that you just write with the blue end and if you make an error, you erased with the 'white' end. Nope - not even a little bit. So I went hunting and found a very useful how to on You Tube. Firstly, these have been around for decades! Obviously in Europe, because I've never seen them in OZ before Notemaker started stocking them. Anyway, back to the how to.
1. They only work with BLUE fountain pen ink. Not black or blue/black or turquoise or any other variations - just blue.
2. The 'white' part will not erase what you write with the blue end of this eraser pen. Again, it will only erase blue fountain pen ink.
HOW IT WORKS:
Using a fountain pen with blue ink, write something, then using the 'white' end of the Lamy Eraser Pen, run the tip over what you've just written - it will disappear immediately. When it's dry, use the blue end of the eraser pen to write over the correct message.
If you've left enough time - days - between when you correct and when you go to write over the corrected spot, it is possible to use a fountain pen again - otherwise, you can only use the blue end of the pen. The chemicals used to make the eraser compound are residual and stay in the paper.
I know that sounds like a heck of a lot of instruction - but really, once you know the basics, you shouldn't be daunted by using this. For me, now I feel confident to Journal with one of my many fountain pens - before I just wouldn't in case I made an error - I hate white out and scratched through errors, I like my page neat :D
So buy, write, enjoy. -A”
