Gamsol 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. In addition, Gamsol’s flashpoint allows it to ship via air cargo as a non-hazardous material.
All of these factors have lead to Gamsol being used widely in oil painting classrooms; in those classes, there are no solvent odors, only the wonderful smell of oil colors.

All Products, Art supplies, Gamblin Mediums and Varnishes, Oil, Oil Mediums, Solvents and Varnishes, Painting SuppliesGamblin Oil Ground 8 oz $32.50
Gamblin Oil Painting Ground makes a strong, bright foundation for oil paintings on canvas or panel. Formulated from alkyd resin, titanium dioxide, and barium sulfate (for tooth). The use of this ground will make both linen and canvas stiffer than an acrylic gesso, and more flexible than traditional oil primers.
Before Gamblin Oil Painting Ground can be applied to canvas, the canvas must be sealed with a size. Gamblin recommends using their PVA size. When using oil colours, fabric supports need sizing, while panels only need to have a ground.
Some painters have reported that the ground takes a very long time to dry – adding a few drops of mineral spirits can help the product dry at a normal rate.

Gamblin Solvent-Free Gel is the only solvent-free painting medium that supports a broad range of painting techniques with minimal compromise.
Solvent-Free Gel gives colors more flow and transparency, yet holds the shape of your brushmark. Solvent-Free Gel has a moderately fast drying rate and increases gloss. Made from safflower oil and alkyd resin, Gamblin Solvent-Free Gel is non-toxic and contains no Gamsol or petroleum distillates.
In comparison to other solvent-free mediums, Gamblin Solvent-Free Gel supports the broadest range of painting techniques with the least compromise across color, dry time, texture and mark-making. To ensure proper drying of paint layers, Solvent-Free Gel should be used in moderation with oil colors. No more than 25% by volume. To avoid wrinkling, apply mixtures of Solvent-Free Gel and oil colors thinly.
To paint solvent-free, we recommend Gamblin Safflower Oil for cleaning brushes while you are working. After your painting session, brushes can be further cleaned using Gamsol and/or soap and water.
