Schmincke AEROSPRAY B72, 300 ml
This crystal clear AEROSPRAY B72 suits as a fixative for pencil, charcoal, pastels, watercolours, ink, tempera, photos, prints, acrylic and oil colours.
Due to the well-known acrylic resin Paraloid® B72 (often used in restoration)it has tightening and protecting characteristics and is also suitable as final varnish.
It is highly lightfast, age-resistant and non-yellowing.
Despending on the painting ground you will achieve an invisible fixation
(on absorbent surfaces) or a semi-matt/ slightly glossy film (on
non-absorbent surfaces). AEROSPRAY B72 has to be sprayed for several
times from a distance of 30 - 40 cn from left to right and top to bottom
(only in well-ventilated rooms). It contains solvents and must not be
inhaled.
Contains: Acrylic resin, alcohols, dimethyl ether, propane/butane.
Handling:
- Fixative for charcoal and pencil (so they can be painted over with oil colours!).
- Final fixative for charcoal, pencil and pastels.
- Also suitable as fixative for watercolour, gouache and aqua linoprint colours.
- Can also be used as varnish for inkjet prints, art prints and photos.
- Suitable as protection of gold leaf and other metallic foils.
- Final varnish for oil and acrylic colours when applied in several layers (semi mat – slightly glossy).
- Shake well before use. Spray at room temperature by moving the can from one side to the other and from top to bottom and holding the can at a distance of 30 – 40 cm from the vertically positioned or slightly inclined and completely dry object. (Make the change in spray direction away from the picture!).
- The level of gloss depends in accordance to absorbance of the surface, painting technique and the thickness of the film.
- Sometimes an intermediate fixation of the art work is helpful.
- The subsequent fixing of the surface of a picture produced using materials low in binding agents may cause the colour shade to become significantly darker. Using too much fixative frequently causes a loss of “lightness”. The product may also make the support, for example the paper, more transparent.
- The fixative coats normally used in practice give no special UV protection to the paints used! For this reason, we recommend that you use high-quality and lightfast artists' paints/printing inks from the outset as far as possible.
- Any clogged-up spray heads are best cleaned using acetone.
- Store in a cool and dry place.
- Protect from sunlight and do not expose to temperatures exceeding 50 °C (122 °F).
- Individual pre-tests are required.
