Not all solvents used in oil painting are created
equal. Gamsol allows painters to work in
traditional and contemporary techniques without
compromising artistic possibilities, permanence
or your well-being. Gamsol is also reusable and
nontoxic when used as recommended.
For an artist, there are a number of factors to
consider when judging a solvent’s safety. Aromatic
solvents are the most harmful type of mineral
spirits. Gamsol is an odorless mineral spirit which
has all of the aromatic component refined out of it
– less than .005% remains. In addition, Gamsol has
a slow evaporation rate, high flash point and is not
absorbed through healthy skin.
These factors have led to Gamsol being The Standard for Studio Safety,
and the solvent of choice among artists and instructors in classrooms and home studios.
Gamblin’s family of Galkyd painting mediums, Cold Wax, Gamvar Picture Varnish and
Ground are all formulated with Gamsol. We recommend only Gamsol for thinning
these materials.

Description
Gamblin Gamsol
The Standard for Studio Safety.
Gamsol is the safest solvent that allows artists to work in traditional and contemporary techniques without
compromise. Gamsol can be used to thin oil colors and painting mediums, and for general studio clean-up.
Gamsol is reusable and non-toxic when used as recommended.
At Gamblin, our mission is to lead oil painting into the future. To us this means crafting materials as they
ought to be, not just as they have been. Our contemporary mediums are true to historic working properties,
yet safer and more permanent.
Painting mediums offer a great deal more than simply extending oil colors. Mediums modify the working
properties of oil color from the tube – from a fluid consistency for expressive mark making to a stiff paste
for creating thick, crisp marks. Painting mediums also broaden the visual qualities of our colors – from
increasing the transparency of paint layers, to creating a range of surface qualities, from high gloss to matte.
