Gamsol Odourless Mineral Spirits

Gamsol is the safest solvent for allowing oil painters to utilize with all traditional painting techniques without compromise.

Excellent solvents for thinning mediums and general painting, including brush and studio clean-up. It is safer for painters, paintings, and the environment than turpentine and harsh mineral spirits.

 Gamsol's primary use is for thinning oil colours. A little goes a long way; stiff oil colours relax immediately when a little Gamsol is added. Please be careful not to thin oil colours too much with solvent alone; this can affect the ability of the paint to form a paint film. Gamsol modifies painting mediums. The Galkyd line of painting mediums is formulated with Gamsol, so they readily accept Gamsol as a thinning agent.

Gamsol is also popular with coloured pencil artists.

Note: Gamsol should not be added to painting mediums made with natural resins (dammar, copal, mastic). They require strong solvents such as turpentine—studio clean-up: brushes, palettes, palette knives, etc.
