Gamblin : Gamsol Odourless Mineral Spirit : 236ml (8oz)

Gamblin Gamsol Is A Professional-quality Odourless Mineral Spirit, Ideal For Thinning Oil Colours, Modifying Painting Mediums, And Cleaning Brushes Without The Strong Fumes Of Traditional Solvents. It Offers A High Level Of Purity And Minimal Toxicity While Preserving The Working Properties Of Oil Paints. Gamsol Is The Safest Solvent That Allows Oil Painters To Utilise All Traditional Painting Techniques Without Compromise. Primary Uses For Gamsol: * Thinning Oil Colours. A Little Goes A Long Way; Stiff Oil Colours Relax Immediately When A Little Gamsol Is Added. Be Careful Not To Thin Oil Colours Too Much With Solvent Alone, As This Can Compromise The Ability Of The Paint To Form A Paint Film. * Modifying Painting Mediums. Gamblin's Galkyd Line Of Painting Mediums Is Formulated With Gamsol, So They Readily Accept Gamsol As A Thinning Agent. 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.How Does Gamsol Achieve This Level Of Performance And Safety? Most Solvents Available To Artists Come From The Industrial Paint Industry, Where Solvent Power And Cheapness Are Prized. Gamsol Is Special: It Is Made For Products And Processes That Come Into More Intimate Contact With The Body, Such As Cosmetics, Hand Cleaners, And Cleaning Food Service Equipment. Gamsol Is A Petroleum Distillate, But All The Aromatic Solvents Have Been Refined Out Of It, And Less Than .005% Remains. Aromatic Solvents Are The Most Harmful Types Of Petroleum Solvents. These Facts Are Detailed In The MSDS For Gamsol; This Document Shows That It Has An Exposure Limit Value Higher Than Most Solvents Available To Artists. All Of These Factors Have Led To Gamsol Being Used Widely In Oil Painting Classrooms; In Those Classes, There Are No Solvent Odours, Only The Wonderful Smell Of Oil Colours.
