I haven't had the prints hanging yet, but I have been keeping 
them in a portfolio case and handling them a lot and they haven't 
flaked.

What I can get here - Grumbacher Myston Workable Fixative from 
the U.S.

It will work fine - you get perfectly neutral B&W prints using the 
RGB profiles in IP, all you lose is the "toner" control.
