This just works as a fixative on pastel. I prefer the Perfix by Rowney. Unfortunately, I have never come across a way to completely protect pastels other than to cover them with glass or plexiglas (only in a pinch, only for oversized).
Any other method I have explored significantly changes the colors and ruins the blues.
I just slip sheets of glassine between my pastels and drawings until they are framed.
Hope this helps!
