Gamsol is the safest solvent that allows oil painters to utilize all traditional painting techniques without compromise. Most solvents available to artists come from the industrial paint industry where solvent power & cheapness is prized. Gamsol is special: it is made for products & processes that come into more intimate contact with the body such as cosmetics, hand cleaners, & cleaning food service equipment. Gamsol is a petroleum distillate but all the aromatic solvents have been refined out of it, less than 0.005% remains. (Aromatic solvents are the most harmful types of petroleum solvents.) Suitable for traditional oil painting. Non-toxic substance. Slow evaporation rate As a brush cleaner, it effectively removes oil colors from brushes to allow for clean mixing & application of colorand eliminates the risk of slow or non-drying oil from interfering with paint layers.
