Workable spray fixative
NOTE: Spray fix drawings using the spray booths. Some people are sensitive to fumes from spray fixative, as it can be particularly dangerous to breathe for asthmatics and those in the early stages of pregnancy. Do not over fix your drawings or the surrounding atmosphere. You should be aware of charcoal dust also. Humidity keeps it down, but it can cause problems for people who are sensitive. Please help keep everyone and the environment, healthy. Please clean up your space before you leave the classroom.
