Gamsol Odorless Mineral Spirits 128 oz

I don’t always use turps or Gamsol, but when I do, I really do prefer this brand of odorless mineral spirits. Glad to be able to still purchase it in gallons sized jugs because I teach and this is the only thinner product I allow in my teaching studio.

I am an artist that works in colored pencil. I use gamsol to dissolve the binder in the pencils and I can move the pigment around like paint. This is a great product and works well.

Gamsol is an amazing product. I wouldn't paint without it. It is wonderfully effective as a medium to mix with your paints to create thin washes which dry quickly. As a paint cleaner, it can't be beaten. Much better than cleaning oils. It only takes a small amount to clean any remaining paint off your palette after scrapping. It thoroughly cleans my expensive oil paint brushes without damaging the tuffs, so it adds considerably to the life span of my brushes. I employ a 4-stage cleaning system with Gamsol in each cleaning jar, and only have to change out qthe Gamsol once a year.. And it is nearly oderless. So many of the hydro flourocarbons have been removed that it has a flashpoint of 144 degrees (as opposed to 100 degrees for cheaper brands). I wouldn't paint without it.

Works well for oil paint cleaning. Great value for the large bottle.

I love this stuff. I have bought "odorless" mineral spirits before and they were anything but. This has no odor whatsoever!

Great

Ok not as good as Bob Ross oderless thinner, I think 144 degrees flashpoint and Ross's132 flashpoint so about the same purity

I hate the odor of so-called "orderless paint thinner" that you buy in hardware or paint stores, because it's fumes are noxious.But Gamsol really has reduced the VOC down to where I don't even notice any odor. That's important to an artist who works with oil paint, or just to use for general cleanup. My studio is small, so I do what I can to keep odors down.When I'm printing , I always use oil-based ink, and Gamsol makes cleanup easy and doesn't stink up the place.This stuff works. Of course it costs a little more - it's a better product, which has gone the extra mile to reduce the VOC level. It's well-worth the price.
