Safe Studio 2005

Cold temperatures bring closed studios, so once again Gamblin Artists’ Materials and Wet Paint present the safe studio promotion in conjunction with our annual White Sale.

The foundation of Gamblin’s safe studio products for oil painters is Gamsol. Gamsol is the safest odorless mineral spirits on the market due to it’s high Permissible Exposure Level (PEL) and high flash point. PEL is a standard that rates how long one can be safely exposed to solvents and Gamsol’s PEL is three times higher than that of turpentine! The higher the PEL, the slower the evaporation rate into the air and consequently the longer you can be in your studio before the air is refreshed by ventilation.

Flash point is the lowest temperature at which a solvent produces vapor in sufficient concentration to create a flammable mixture. Gamsol’s flash point is 145 degrees; nearly sixty degrees higher than turpentine and over twenty degrees higher than other mineral spirits.

Gamsol is also an extremely clean solvent, free from the impurities of lesser grade spirits, so your paint film will maintain it’s integrity when you mix Gamsol with your oils.

Gamblin’s painting mediums, Galkyd, Galkyd Lite, Galkyd Slow Drying, Galkyd Gel and Neo Megilp are all formulated using Gamsol, so you are assured that your oil painting additives are as safe to use as your solvent.

Whether you are using Gamsol as an extender for your oil paints and mediums or as a cleaner it is a critical component for your safe studio.
