I ended up having to put in a background to cover the spatters! I hope you're able to fix it! I quit using the W&N spray and went to Grumbacher or Lascaux but they might not be convenient for you to get.<br /><br />Poor Ellie!

The goats are spoiled rotten and I think that shows in the quality of the milk and cheese they produce.

I don't usually fix pastels on sanded paper but this has to travel to Singapore so wanted a bit more protection. Also the paper is kind of gritty rather than sanded (can't recall what make it is) and doesn't hold the pastel as well as Fisher 400 for instance.Sue Clinkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15582183867336673426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8474048087216734753.post-76872322584494006892013-03-10T19:25:16.012+00:002013-03-10T19:25:16.012+00:00I was kind of panicking reading that so I cannot i...I was kind of panicking reading that so I cannot imagine how you must have felt. Hope you can remove/hide the splatters OK. I have had problems with nozzles on sprays, but never for anything that important.<br /><br />Love the story of the goats.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087140585742801854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8474048087216734753.post-45635375021891884642013-03-10T10:58:24.066+00:002013-03-10T10:58:24.066+00:00I had the same problem with W&N fixative, I bu...I had the same problem with W&N fixative, I buy another brand now, but I don't often fix my work anymore as I find it is not really necessary on sanded paper. If I do fix I only do a very light dusting.<br />You should have no problem with getting rid of the spots they will cover well, some you can eliminate by some gentle touching with your finger which you could do on your background, Bevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05441506881445533589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8474048087216734753.post-45745753158518238192013-03-10T09:19:03.337+00:002013-03-10T09:19:03.337+00:00Thanks for the tip Karen.

I have Zest It here so will get into the habit of using it on the fixative nozzle after each use.<br /><br /> David has been cleaning the nozzle with industrial alcohol but that smells horrible.<br /><br />Thankfully on pastel works I will be able to remove/cover the spots but had this happened to a graphite portrait it would have ruined the work.<br /><br />Sue Clinkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15582183867336673426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8474048087216734753.post-34539016243747380272013-03-10T01:28:43.824+00:002013-03-10T01:28:43.824+00:00Hi Sue, I have had the same problem with fixatives...Hi Sue, I have had the same problem with fixatives and varnishes and I now clean my nozzles between every application with a spray on citrus based adhesive remover such as Oomph, Zest-it or maybe you have a different brand in the UK. This removes any build up of spray around the nozzle, only takes a couple of seconds and really helps to limit the splatter problem :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01840364245091965136noreply@blogger.com
