Spectrafix Spray Fixative Concentrate, 2 oz.

Preserve your artwork without harmful fumes! SpectraFix is a pastel fixative that utilizes milk protein and grain alcohol to provide a non-toxic, fully archival fixative for pastel, charcoal, conte, watercolor, gouache and multi-media techniques. It holds and protects media without darkening or dulling colors. It can also be used under oil paintings to hold a preliminary charcoal or pencil sketching and provide a barrier between the oil paint and the drawing. The concentrate can be reconstituted with alcohol such as Everclear or vodka - it can also be used to increase the holding strength of the ready-made SpectraFix, and is also great for those who would like a formulation that contains more alcohol for evaporative reasons. The label has handy gradation lines to facilitate pouring 1/4 of the bottle into the empty spray bottle and topping off with alcohol, as an easy way of getting the standard-use ratios of concentrate to alcohol.
