Plus it is NON-TOXIC! :-) - Spectrafix is completely non-toxic, and I have very serious health issues that cause me to be extremely sensitivities to all chemicals. So I was excited to purchase this as a fixative for my charcoal and pastel drawings. After much trail and error, I realized that the best way to use this is in many very light layers, letting each layer dry about 10 - 15 minutes between each one. This works best with thin drawings, but if you keep building and building layers of this spray it will eventually work. At least for me, with my type of artwork. I usually do mixed media with lots of texture and such. I have not noticed large droplet marks (spray the art piece on the wall, not laying flat down, and you will get fewer droplet marks) but again, I tend to have lots of texture to begin with. I use this over graphite drawings as well when I do not want to them to smudge. This has never changed the color of my artwork, like the chemical sprays do!!! BIG huge bonus there as a professional and finicky artist. This takes more time than the heavy duty chemical-filled sprays, but this will not make you ill from using it! This is natural and has actually been used for hundreds of years. I don't think that any charcoal / pastel adhesives actually make charcoal / pastel completely smudge free without intense layers. Another great tip with this is to use it AS you create your art layers, not just on top of the final art piece! That helps a TON!! ...Good luck friends. Be patient, and use the best products for your beautiful creations!! Review: SpectraFix for fixing Graphite. - SpectraFix is great for setting charcoal. It darkens chalk, so not crazy about it for that.

This fixative is a spray pump that uses a fine mist finger sprayer. It is not packaged in a pressurized aerosol can because the necessary propellant required to eject the fixative may have an unforeseeable effect on pastels. **Q: Could i use this in an airbrush to get a more finer mist and better coverage?** A: Flairosol spray bottles are awesome to spray this fixative... http://amzn.to/2finGhD Watch this video to see how you can get a continuous spray, instead of a pump action type spray... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Ui3KHKJ3bA&index=21&list=PLaZxH7ZFWv9dkp_QW42-fQ-1shnUDWgEp&t=0s **Q: Does this product help in distress inks/sprays not smear?** A: Yes, it does, I've sprayed it over ballpoint pen and marker, it doesn't bleed **Q: Can you use this on alcohol ink paintings as a varnish?** A: Try the SpectraFix Natural Glass. I works wonderfully with Alcohol Inks. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Overall, I LOVE this product, now that I know how to use it correctly.

It darkens chalk, so not crazy about it for that. Not meant for heavy paints. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product *by M***R on February 19, 2024* I recommend this product to all my drawing students as it doesn’t have the dangerous organic vapors in it and does a pretty good job fixing charcoal and/or pencil drawings. HOWEVER, warning to all: the sprayer part does not impart a super fine mist so you must clean the nozzle often and make sure you spray from a distance, or else you may wind up damaging your drawing by causing drips or too much wetness. Otherwise, a fine product — just be careful with it. ## Frequently Bought Together - SpectraFix Degas Spray Fixative SF-31270 (12 oz Spray Bottle) - PanPastel Artist Pastels by GOLDEN, Colorless Blender, 2.44” / 62mm Pan Diameter, Professional Artist Pastels, Unique Pan Format (cake-like) - PanPastel Artist Pastels by GOLDEN, 20 Color Palette Tray, Professional Artist Pastels --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/7827571-sfx-31270-12-oz-spectrafixative-fixative-spray](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/7827571-sfx-31270-12-oz-spectrafixative-fixative-spray) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-22*
