How do you remove Correction fluid on thick paper?

To remove correction fluid on thick paper, you can try gently scraping off the dried correction fluid using a razor blade or the edge of a credit card. Be careful not to damage the paper. If the correction fluid is still visible, you can try using a small amount of acetone or nail polish remover on a cotton swab to gently dab at the area until the correction fluid is lifted. It's always a good idea to test a small, inconspicuous area of the paper first to ensure the remover doesn't damage it.
