Question Right stuff for Gamsol Technique???

The closest thing I can find to what you guys are talking about is "Odorless Turpenoid-turpentine substitute" Is this stuff going to work with my prisma pencils??? The bottle says "Use as a thinner for artists' oil colors and varnishes. Use as a cleaner for oil painting brushes, other tools and accessories."

In a pinch, I also have some goo-gone here, so if this is completely wrong I can go with plan "B"

HELP!

Hi,
The first time I read about this prisma color technique was on the House Mouse site and she uses turpenoid. Heres the site...

How you can easily color the House-Mouse Rubber Stamp Images.

Hope that helps

A lot of craft stores sell Mona Lisa brand Odorless Paint Thinner. Basic ingredient is the same as Gamsol brand -- but some gals swear by one and some the other.

Recently a lot of people are singing the praises of Goo Gone for blending Prisma Colors. I tried it. It works great. I didn't really like the oily smell.

I use turpenoid and have never been disappointed.

Thanks so much! I didn't want to open the bottle if I had bought the wrong thing because I still have the receipt and could have exchanged it. I'm getting to work in just a little bit and can't wait to see the results!!
