Lots of advice on fixatives available on the forum but I wondered if I could take it a step further.
Has anybody experimented using a fixative in an atomizer rather than an aerosol for inkjet printed models? I imagine it would have to be alcohol based to avoid ruining the print out. I'd be thrilled to find something which gave a satin finish. I might be willing to invest in a low cost airbrush if the right solution is out there.
I can't use aerosols inside the house (wife has respiratory challenges and frankly, I don't care for the health risks myself). I live in the Washington, DC, area so generally if it's warm enough to spray outside it's also quite humid which usually results in 'ghosting' using a number of branded clear-coats. An indoor spray booth probably isn't an option since we're in rented property.
In theory--I haven't actually tried it--I favor using cheap hair lacquer as a fixative but that doesn't avoid the aerosol issue. I suspect a satin finish is a out of the question in that situation, too.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
