I hate using whiteout to fix my pen mistakes. With the Pilot Frixion pens you can easily erase your work and start brand new. The Pilot Frixion is a real life invisible ink pen that disappears and reappears based on the temperature of the ink.
This pen uses special ink. It writes like any normal pen, but erases just like a pencil.
And you can make it magically reappear and erase it all over again.
Hi, I'm David and this is a Pilot FriXion, an erasable pen.
I really like using pens to jot down notes and sketch out ideas,
but I make a lot of errors and mistakes, and I really hate using whiteout to fix them.
Sure, I could just use a pencil instead, but there's something satisfying about using ink on
paper. So when I learned about these Pilot FriXion pens, I grabbed a couple to check them
out. The pen itself is pretty normal. A cap to cover a standard ballpoint tip for the ink,
and a rubber piece on the other end that doesn't work to erase pencil lead if you were curious
about that. The special sauce for the Pilot FriXion is in the ink. It looks and acts just
like a normal gel pen, but when you use the rubber piece on the ink it disappears. It's
actually really neat how this works. The ink isn't actually removed from the paper, instead
it just becomes transparent. It works by using the same technology we find in mood rings or those
cups and mugs that change color when you add hot water. This thermal chromatic ink used in the
Pilot FriXion pen turns invisible when you apply heat to it. In this case, the heat generated from
the friction between the rubber and the paper. But you can use anything else that heats the
ink over 60 degrees Celsius like a hair dryer to get the same effect and erase larger areas
at the same time. Bringing the ink back takes a little more effort since it only reappears
once the ink drops below negative 10 degrees Celsius. The easiest way to do this is just to
throw it in a freezer and after it cools overnight the ink will start to reappear. Or if you have
freezing spray you can speed up this process. The Pilot FriXion also comes in a variety of colors
and even highlighters so they're great for temporarily marking stuff up and erasing it
all after. While I wouldn't use them for writing something important like a legal document or a
test at school because the ink might accidentally disappear. And they're more pricey than a typical
gel pen. But if you're like me who enjoys using pens but hates crossing out things or using white
out it's worth adding to your collection of stationaries. But I hope you guys enjoyed this one.
You know what to do and I'll see you in the next video.
