About The Product
The Pakistan problem it solves
In Pakistan, many artists and students still rely on quick hacks like hair spray or improvised coatings. The result is often uneven protection, yellowing risk, a sticky feel, and artwork that still smudges in folders, during delivery, or while framing.
Pintyplus Fixative Spray solves this problem in a cleaner, more reliable way. It is especially helpful in Lahore and other cities where artwork often travels between schools, studios, printing shops, framers, and clients, and gets damaged from rubbing and dust.
Applications and where to use
Use this fixative spray anywhere you need drawings to stay clean and presentable:
- Home and hobby use: sketchbooks, portfolios, gifts, framed drawings
- Schools and universities: art assignments, display boards, project work
- Studios and professionals: commissions, portfolio pieces, final presentation
- Cafés and small businesses: paper-based artwork, handmade signage, display sketches
- Framing workflow: seal artwork before mounting and framing to reduce dusting
Key features and benefits
- Helps reduce smudging and accidental rubbing
- Minimises charcoal and pastel dusting
- Clear and even spray application when applied in light coats
- Saves time compared to brush-on coatings
- Useful for both students and professional artists
- Clean results when you follow the correct spray distance and thin-coat method
How to apply (step by step)
- Test first on a small corner or a spare sheet, especially for delicate papers.
- Place the artwork on a flat surface in a well-ventilated area.
- Shake the can well for around 1 minute.
- Hold the can about 20 to 30 cm away.
- Spray light, even passes. Do not soak the paper.
- Apply 1 to 2 thin coats rather than one heavy coat.
- Let it dry, then store, transport, or frame your artwork.
Tip: For charcoal and soft pastel, thin coats work best. Heavy wet coats can darken or spot the surface.
Safety, storage and handling
- Use only with good ventilation. Avoid breathing spray mist.
- Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Aerosols are flammable.
- Keep out of reach of children.
- Store upright in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
- Pressurised container: do not puncture or burn, even when empty.
- If you spray often (studio use), use a suitable mask/respirator.
