My Favorite Things: My "Eraser Station"

Here's my 'erase and correct' station.  I thought I'd share a picture while it is still neat and tidy after yesterday's spill clean-up.

This is one of my favorite banker's wells.  It's got great nooks and crannies for supplies.  As you can see, I've got quite an assortment of erasers at hand--some erasers work better on some papers than others, don't you think?  I also have an exacto knife--some papers will allow a gently scraping to remove ink, a tiny little brush for sweeping away the erasure crumbs, and a water filled brush.  Sometimes scraping and erasing can lift the fibers of some papers, and I've found that gently brushing over the spot with a damp brush and then laying another piece of paper over it while it's still damp and pressing down will lay those fibers right down.  Well, sometimes it works.  

Did you notice that I used the words 'some' and 'sometimes' a lot?  That's because nothing works every time.

Do you have any tricks for correcting mistakes and erasing errors?  If so, I'd love to hear about your techniques.
