What am I missing here?
I have used one of those tin pastel fixatif sprayers for years for water or
for diluted corn syrup. When using it I cannot possibly wear a mask to
protect my nose and mouth....
Now there is discussion of using such a tool, or similar for glaze or
colorants. How on earth can one avoid breathing the stuff in, or getting it
on one's lips or face....there always is a "backlash."

Dear Lily
1) don't do it too close,
or
2) do it outside, blowing down wind,
or
3) make a hole in your respirator for the mouth piece, and only breath
through your nose!!

Thanks to all who have responded. If I can't find one from all those
suggestion I'll be very surprised.
With respect to the couple of messages about the safety of using such a
device I would note that a well-designed and maintained spray booth with
adequate air velocity and an outside blow exhaust takes care of that
problem. Well designed and maintained is, of course, a key phrase. As
an added precaution I will probably extend the tube a couple feet so I
am well outside the spray booth and the piece is well inside it.
I have been distracted the last couple days because my son-in-law and
granddaughter were in a serious auto accident or I would have responded
individually. While he was seriously injured there are no unfixable
problems. She came away with hardly a scratch even though the car went
off the road, glanced off a stone wall, rolled back onto the road and
was hit by an oncoming pickup truck. We went to see the car today and it
is a real mess. It makes you a real believer in seat belts, children's
car seats and air bags.
