Sorry I'd never heard of using fixative on a finished piece either. It certainly makes sense though. Nice that it helps with oil marks. I did a little looking around on the net and many of the links I found also mention the fixative thing.
This link http://www.scratchboard.org/?p=14 even mentioned that one of the scratchboard makers used to produce their own line of fixative and recommends a product similar to the one they used to make.
This http://www.scratchboard.org/russhowto/index.html is another link I found to be interesting. Talks about technique, tools, types of scratchboard, using a partially fingerless glove to protect the piece from hand oils etc. At the bottom it even references a forum that has a section devoted to scratchboard.

I knew I had this piece somewhere in my archives, it's from college circa 1984..............
It has been a long time since I did a scratchboard

Very nice, Mike! Did you use sandpaper on the all white parts? I read that's a technique for getting all white but haven't tried it.
Thanks Microswede! He really liked it! My niece wants one of her favorite band for Christmas but I just found out and probably won't have time with all the other Christmas projects I have going! If there's leftover time, I'm gonna try!

i wouldn't mess with that bear!
i was watching Ink Masters (tattoo show on TLC i think) and one challenge was a massive scratch board piece. they got paired up with another artist and had to do a collaborative piece. it was pretty neat to see the process.

Thanks Cornfed,
Gesso'd Peterborough brand Illustration board with "several" coats of india ink. Exacto-Knife and compass point and along with various other blades types for effect.Minimal hand sketching onto the board, no transfer or tracing very little overworking. So the white is a completely "subtractive ( read that as scratching the sh!t out of it) process the board is actually about 3/16ths to a 1/4 thick
Sandpaper was not used, entirely "line work" I prefer not to use abrasives on my boards, same with my totally eschewing using erasers on pencil work. I don't like the way it damages the substrate. I consider it an important part of the original visual "feel" therefore no abrasives
