Are your drawings very heavy? If you using lots of heavy layers and dark graphite, you may need extra coats. The only other thing I can think of is that maybe you're holding the spray can too far away from your drawing, or that the nozzle is partially clogged. Is your fixative new?

I sprayed about two-1/2 coats (three on the left side, two on the right). One hour between coats (per instructions) -- and it's now about 12 hours since the last spray. But the pencil still rubs off on my fingers when I run them lightly across the page. Is that "right"? Thanks for your help.
