The first trick to get chalks and etc to stick is to apply them to a flat(non-glossy) surface. You didn't say what you used a a fixative other than a flat matte spray but it sounds like it may have been water based since it formed droplets. The next reason it may have formed droplets is that the nozzle on the can was partially clogged or was just too coarse. I normally use an air bru***o fix weathering but I have found two products in cans that work quite well. The first is Modelmaster Dullcote, available at hobby shops and the other is Krylon Crystal Clear, available at art supply stores. Remember that a number of very light coats, allowing drying time between coats works much better than on or two heavy coats. Hope this helped...Vic
