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.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModifying 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.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStudio clean up: brushes, palettes, palette knives, etc.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHow 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 is 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGamsol is a petroleum distillate but all the aromatic solvents have been refined out of it, less than .005% remains. Aromatic solvents are the most harmful types of petroleum solvents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese facts are detailed in the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1751\/8993\/files\/Gamsol-SDS_US_English_2023.pdf?v=1788771845\" title=\"Gamsol Safety Data Sheet\"\u003eMSDS\u003c\/a\u003e for Gamsol, this document shows that it has an Exposure Limit Value higher than most solvents available to artists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll of these factors have lead to Gamsol being used widely in oil painting classrooms; in those classes there are no solvent odours, only the wonderful smell of oil colours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1751\/8993\/files\/Gamsol-SDS_US_English_2023.pdf?v=1788771845\" title=\"Safety Data Sheet\"\u003eGamsol Safety Data Sheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gamblin","offers":[{"title":"125ml","offer_id":64498700026233,"sku":"MGBMS118","price":10.3,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"250ml (8oz)","offer_id":64498785780089,"sku":"MGBMS236","price":12.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"500ml","offer_id":64498854953337,"sku":"MGBMS473","price":21.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1ltr","offer_id":64498719523193,"sku":"MGBMS946","price":29.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"3.78ltr","offer_id":64498825527673,"sku":"MGBMS378","price":75.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1751\/8993\/files\/mgbms118.jpg?v=1788771125","url":"https:\/\/artdiscount.co.uk\/products\/gamblin-gamsol-odourless-mineral-spirit","provider":"ARTdiscount ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
