Fixatif\Krylon for decals

Can the Fixatif be used in lieu of the Krylon clear spray for decal protection? I have just printed a few up and only have a can of the Fixatif.

Thank you for your help.

Yes. It's not needed with the matte vinyl though.

You can get away without it with metallics also if you are very careful when handling.

Thanks for your help Steve. I will be using it on a waterslide decal. Just applied my first coat.

Oh, I was referring to the self-printed vinyl. I have no experience spraying stuff on waterslides, just used micro-set and micro-solve.

Fixatif works on waterslides AND peel and sticks.
