Thanks

I used the silver metallic Sharpie on my last rod, and applied the Flex-Coat without any prior prep. It worked fine. Blank was a matte H&H XT51.

Fixative as used here is an clear acrylic spray used as a protective coating to protect inscriptions from smearing and protect decals. It can also be used to protect photo's, artists use it to protect charcoal, pastel, and pen and ink art work. Woman and maybe some men use hair spray, a fixative. Some of us however don't have much hair left so we don't need it !!
