What seals and protects with Fixative "A" Sealer?

Mehron Fixative "A" Sealer is a solvent-based liquid sealer that dries to a flexible, transparent film. You apply it over prosthetic make-up such as scar wax or Extra Flesh, sealing the soft modelling so you can apply make-up over the top without the wax smudging or leaving residue on your fingers.

The sealed layer also works as a topcoat over painted skin tattoos, body art, and alcohol make-up, preventing transfer onto costumes and keeping the look in place for hours. For Mehron Bald Cap and latex prosthetics, use Mehron Castor Sealer instead, which is specifically formulated for latex surfaces.

When do you choose this over other sealers?

Seals soft wax modelling: scar wax and Extra Flesh remain tacky and prone to smudging without a protective layer. Fixative "A" Sealer forms a clear film over the wax so you can apply cream or water-activated make-up without the wax shifting.

Fast-drying and flexible: the layer dries within a few minutes and moves with facial expressions and muscle movement. No cracking or lifting when talking or laughing. 30 ml pro-size: enough for regular use by theatre companies, production studios, and SFX artists working on multiple projects per week. Far more cost-effective than individual 4 ml bottles.

How to use Fixative "A" Sealer

Step 1: model the wax. Apply your Mehron Scar Wax or Extra Flesh to the skin and shape the desired form using your fingers or a Stainless Steel Spatula.

Step 2: powder (optional). Lightly dust the wax with Mehron Setting Powder to remove the worst of the tackiness. Brush away any excess with a soft powder brush.

Step 3: apply Fixative "A" Sealer. Dip the applicator brush briefly into the bottle and apply a thin layer over the modelled wax. Work from the edge inwards so the transition to the skin is sealed at the same time. Step 4: allow to dry. Leave the sealed layer for approximately 1 to 2 minutes until it no longer feels tacky. For extra durability, apply a second thin layer after the first has dried. Step 5: finish with make-up. Work into the dry Fixative layer with cream make-up, water-activated face paint, or alcohol make-up to match the effect to the skin tone and add blood details. Pro tip from Linda: for larger wax pieces or effects used on consecutive days, apply two thin layers of Fixative "A" Sealer with 2 minutes drying time between each coat. The double seal holds the wax even during warm summer theatre runs and long film shoot days.

Safety and storage

• Flammable: Fixative "A" Sealer contains solvents and is flammable. Keep away from open flames, sparks, and hot surfaces.
• Close tightly after use to prevent evaporation and preserve the working life of the bottle.
• Avoid contact with eyes. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
• Do not use on broken or irritated skin.
• Store in a cool, dry place out of reach of children.

Removing

First gently scrape away the bulk of the wax with a Stainless Steel Spatula. Remove remaining Fixative "A" Sealer and wax with Mehron Spirit Gum Remover on a cotton pad. Press the remover along the edges, leave for 10 to 20 seconds, then wipe away. Cleanse the skin afterwards with warm water and soap.
