"100% odourless mineral spirits (OMS) developed by Gamblin, for use with thinning Gamblin mediums and other general painting methods including studio and brush clean up. Having removed the harmful aromatic components in mineral spirits, odourless mineral spirits are safer to use, though adequate ventilation is still required. Gamsol has a "permissible exposure level" (PEL) of 300ppm (the higher the PEL, the safer the solvent) compared with turpentine which has a PEL of 100ppm. Gamsol cannot dissolve damar or other natural resins." - Gamblin

Gamsol is made by Gamblen and can be ordered from them or Ultrecht's carries it. Thisis exactly what Larry explained to us in class. What a big difference, huh?

OK , Richard, you can brush your teeth now!!
