GAMSOL Odourless Mineral Spirits

Gamsol is truly a remarkable solvent that empowers oil painters to explore and express their creativity using traditional techniques without limitations. Whether you’re a seasoned artist or just starting, Gamsol opens up a world of possibilities in your artistic journey.

PRIMARY USES FOR GAMSOL:

Thinning Oil Colours:

Just a small amount of Gamsol works wonders, softening even the stiffest oil paints with ease. However, it’s essential to find the right balance—over-thinning with just solvent can compromise the integrity of your paint film.

Adjusting Painting Mediums:

Galkyd mediums are compatible with Gamsol, making it an excellent choice for thinning. Just a quick note: it's best not to mix Gamsol with mediums that contain natural resins like dammar or mastic, as these require more robust solvents such as turpentine.

Studio Cleanup:

Gamsol is fantastic for cleaning brushes, palettes, palette knives, and other painting tools, helping maintain a tidy and efficient workspace.

What sets Gamsol apart in terms of performance and safety? Unlike many conventional industrial solvents that prioritize potency and cost-cutting, Gamsol is crafted with a focus on safety and human health. This makes it ideal for artistic pursuits. With less than 0.005% aromatic solvents remaining after refining, Gamsol significantly reduces the risks associated with high-hazard solvents. Plus, its flashpoint makes it safe to transport by air without hazard concerns.

Thanks to its thoughtful formulation, oil painting classes can now be enjoyed without the strong solvent odours; only the delightful scent of your chosen oil colours fills the air.

Product Sizes and Storage:

When it comes to storage, remember to keep solvents out of children's reach. It's a smart idea to avoid using drinking containers for solvents and to refrain from eating, drinking, or smoking while painting. Always wash your hands thoroughly after your creative sessions before grabbing that snack!

For optimal storage, consider using metal containers with secure lids or wide-mouth mason jars to prevent any mix-ups with beverages. Gamsol can also be easily poured from a plastic bottle with a nozzle, as its gentle nature won’t damage the container.

Don’t forget to label all solvent containers clearly!  Ensuring your studio stays organized and safe. Enjoy your painting experience with Gamsol and unleash your creativity's full potential!
