We always air dried them and fixed them in methanol, otherwise they washed off.

I am not embarrassed to say that it has been awhile since I worked with them. With the smears are most labs air drying, methanol (alcohol fixation) or spray fixation (pap fixative) or something else? I do thank you for your help.
