Fixatives are classified as coagulative fixatives and cross-linking fixatives. Carnoy's fixative is a coagulative fixative. Coagulative fixatives change the shape or structure of protein molecules without binding to them, while cross-linking fixatives bind chemically to protein molecules at one or more points. In cross-linking fixatives molecules are linked together to form an insoluble latticework by forming chemical bridges between protein chains. Carnoy's fixative is a coagulative fixative.

What are the advantages of epoxy resin as a fixative?
Expoxy resin is very stable and that is exactly what you need in a goo fixative. The last thing you need is an unstable mix of chemicals,that can end in disaster. The advantages of epoxy resin as a fixative are that it is durable, long-lasting, and inexpensive. Epoxy resin also resists cracking, unlike many older adhesives.

What can you use to make a charcoal drawing more permanent?
Charcoal drawing can be made more permanent using a spray fixative. Most craft stores carry one or more brand-name of fixative. I recommend you try a test, using the spray on an unimportant scrap of paper with charcoal on it, as sometimes there is a change in colouration when using fixative and it is best to know what to expect.
