How to Fix a BIC Wite-Out Mini

Introduction

If your BIC Wite-Out Mini is jammed or dismantled, little to no white-out strips will come out. Use this guide to fix the BIC Wite-Out Mini back to working order.

The white-out strip within the correction device transmits white-out strips onto paper to cover up mistakes or marks. A tangled or jammed white-out strip will not run smoothly through the gears onto paper.

This may cause headaches and inconsistencies when covering up mistakes. Fortunately, fixing a white-out strip often takes little time, and helps prevent unnecessary waste from ending up in landfills. You’ll need tweezers and a set of steady hands and you’ll be back to covering up mistakes in no time.

This guide will cover the fixing and assembly of a BIC Wite-Out Mini.
