Re: Lascaux Fixative - How to use?

2005-06-20 by john dean

I do do it outside and with a charcoal filtered mask  and goggles. If you 
change the filters often and you do not smell even a trace of the solvent, then 
no it is not delusional to use this method. However, if you are doing this stuff 
day in and day out with large volumes, you should either construct a special 
spray room with exhauset fans air imput, etc. At that point I would farm the 
work out to a company that specializes in such work.
