Gamblin Gamsol Odourless Mineral Spirits
Gamblin Gamsol is a odourless mineral solvent that is designed as an alternative to traditional solvents offering reduced odour without compromise, making it ideal for all traditional oil painting techniques and printmaking applications.
Primary Uses for Gamsol:
Modifying painting mediums: Our Galkyd line of painting mediums are 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.
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, this can compromise the ability of the paint to form a paint film.
Studio clean up: brushes, palettes, palette knives, etc.
Available in a 500ml bottle.
