Krylon K01306 Workable Fixatif Spray Clear, 11-Ounce Aerosol,Matte

It works great! I have tried it on my charcoal and grahite drawings both. It does not leave any residue and protects the drawings from accidentall smudging. To properly apply, make sure you do it in an open area with no wind (the smell is potent and bad to breath). Keep the can upright and about a foot any from the work. Spray in a constant sweeping motion from top to the bottom and upper right corner to the lower left corner (if youbare right-handed). Let it drybfor about 30 minutes. Repeat one mire time. You are done. Some buyers had complained about the cap being too tight and that they broke the spray head trying to remove the cap. The trick is to push the can by two fingers firmly, and pull up. Do not try to push the cap to the side. You will break the spam head!

I made a birthday card for a friend and it was my first time using oil pastels so I was really nervous about putting it in an envelope, or even touching it in general lol. I smudged up a card I made with pencil not too long ago and all the time I spent making each individual hair went right down the drain and I was so sad. So I was looking for something to seal my cards with so they didn't get messed up. I have only put one coat on so far but it made the colors in my card really pop! I can see and feel the seal on it so I have no doubt once I add another coat it will be well protected. I had no problem getting even coverage, there were no drips, and it dried very quickly. The only thing that kind sucked was it's winter and really cold outside so I had to spray it inside and it's no different than using spray paint, the smell is quite strong so if you can use it outside or in a well ventilated area that would be best. I looked at several other sealants and chose this one because of the price, I was not disappointed. It should last me a really long time. I really haven't done much art since high school over 20 years ago, so I'm just a casual "artist" and my opinion probably isn't worth much, but I was very happy with my purchase. I look forward to sealing more cards and creations with it!!

I thought this worked well with my colored pencil painting. It went on smoothly with no spurts or clumping. And I was able to apply more layers on top of it with no issues or affects to the pencil layers that had already been applied. There is a strong smell so spray it outside.

The description says matte, it decidedly is not! It’s def a low gloss. Otherwise great product and the only sealing spray I’ll use!

I use a sketchbook all the time for work and hate seeing pencil smudges and residue on my drawings. I've gone through a couple cans of similar products and I think this specific brand works the best. It smells like extra-strong nail polish, but it does the job. When using, I suggest spritzing rather than a hard spray - a little product goes a long way. The nozzle is durable and I haven't had any problems with product build-up. It also dries pretty quickly, maybe 10-15 minutes. The smell may linger on your paper for the first day or two, but it does eventually evaporate.

Works well, price was decent. Does what it’s suppose to
