VALLEJO Pigment Fixer 35 ml – modelling pigment stabilizer for scale models

VALLEJO Pigment Fixer 35 ml is a liquid stabilizer formulated to fix dry pigments and weathering powders on scale models and miniatures. Applied after dry pigment effects are arranged, the solution binds particles to the painted surface without significantly altering the visual texture of the finish. The 35 ml bottle provides controlled application for detailed areas and helps preserve subtle weathering and finish details during handling and display.

Advantages

Pigment Fixer secures loose pigment particles to reduce dusting and transfer, improving the durability of applied weathering effects. The formulation is compatible with commonly used model paints and pigments and dries clear, maintaining the original colour and texture of the pigments. The small bottle size allows precise application on small parts and targeted spots, making it practical for model builders and miniature painters.

Suitable for

• Fixing dry pigments on scale models and miniatures
• Stabilizing weathering powders on painted surfaces
• Preserving dusty effects on wheels, tracks, and diorama terrain
• Securing pigments on resin, plastic and metal model parts

Key specifications

• Volume: 35 ml
• Type: liquid pigment stabilizer for exterior application over dry pigments
• Finish: dries clear without glossy or matte alteration of pigment texture
• Compatibility: suitable for use over enamel, acrylic and oil-based pigments when used as directed

How to use

Apply Pigment Fixer after arranging dry pigments and achieving the desired weathering effect. Use a fine brush or dropper to place a small amount of solution over the pigments, avoiding excessive wetting that could dissolve underlying paint layers. Allow the fixer to flow gently into the pigment particles and dry undisturbed. If necessary, apply additional thin layers to secure heavier pigment deposits, allowing each layer to dry between applications.

Usage recommendations

Test on a spare part or inconspicuous area before full application to confirm compatibility with your paints and pigments. Work in a well-ventilated area and keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use. Store at moderate temperatures away from direct sunlight.
