	Workable fixative [Archive] - WetCanvas!
		If you are fixing a charcoal drawing that you are going to paint on, use just enough to hold the drawing otherwise it acts different where you sprayed vs didn't spray.
		Workable fixative is just that, "worklable" (Holding what you have of your drawing, so that you can come back and refine if you need to before you spray a "final fixtative" on it) - so when you start to paint on it, it will not always hold the drawing.
		Crystal Kote is not worksble fixative at all.

	The World Market for Oral or Dental Hygiene Preparations and Denture Fixative Pastes and Powders: A 2005 Global Trade ...
		I have developed a methodology, based on macroeconomic and trade models, to estimate the market for oral or dental hygiene preparations and denture fixative pastes and powders for those countries serving the world market via exports or supplying from various countries via imports.
		The total level of imports and exports on a worldwide basis, and those for each region, is based on a model which aggregates across over 150 key country markets and projects these to the current year.
		Combined, Chapters 3 and 4 present the complete picture for imports and exports of oral or dental hygiene preparations and denture fixative pastes and powders to and from all major countries in the world.

	Is there a fixative that will make dye permanent? What is Retayne?
		The use of these dye fixatives is now common in the textile industry, which is one reason why properly dyed clothing is less likely to run in the wash now than it was years ago.
		Cationic dye fixatives actually belong to the class of dyes known as basic dyes, because of their positive charge.
		Cationic dye fixatives are applied in the washing machine or a bucket of very hot water, and cannot be used for items colored with dyes that are not attached at all, because the items must be capable of at least a single immersion without running very badly.

		Put a small drop of fixative on the slide, smear it evenly over the surface, and then wipe it off with a clean finger until only a scarcely perceptible film remains; then add several drops of distilled water and float the sections or ribbons on the water.
		Be careful not to melt the paraffin, for the albumen of the fixative coagulates with less heat than is required to melt the paraffin.
		If the fixative is used alone, as is often the case when sections are very thick, none of the delay is necessary, since the sections are merely laid upon the fixative and pressed down gently with the finger.

	Healthwise Information
		Fixative procedures, in which the blood flow to the hemorrhoids is cut off with rubber bands, lasers, heat, or chemical injections, are an option if you have internal hemorrhoids that bulge from the anus during bowel movements.
		The goal of fixative procedures is to reduce the blood supply to the hemorrhoid, causing the hemorrhoid to shrink or wither away.
		Fixative procedures include tying off hemorrhoids with rubber bands (rubber band ligation); scarring the tissue around the hemorrhoids (coagulation therapy) with devices that use heat, a laser, or an electrical current; and injecting hemorrhoids with chemicals that cause them to shrink (injection sclerotherapy).

	Slide preparations - cell fixatives
		The common fixative used in cytogenetics (usually a combination between methanol and acetic acid) helps keep the cells in a "swollen" state, achieved after hypotonic treatment.
		By increasing methanol proportion, drying/evaporation of the fixative is much faster, not allowing the cell membrane and the content of the cells to spread too far.
		Ethanol fixative worked well, metaphases were clean and the chromosomes were prevented from overspreading, due in part to the slower evaporation of ethanol compared to methanol.

	Inklings / the fixative and the dialectic
		Literature is essentially a fixative quality of a larger life quality: that is in terms of the “positive ontology” of Deleuze and Guattari (A Thousand Plateaus) a resonance of flux functioning within a strata as an intentionally intentional cause of the stratification of flux out of which its quality and nature is derived.
		It is essentially in these terms a fixative resonance of a strata and of itself
		This makes it absolutely a fixative of a specific strata it has caused; limiting its scope of intentional understanding and effect entirely to its own resonantly produced strata.
