Default Gamsol and SU blender pens
I am wondering if Gamsol and SU blender pens are basically the same?

If not, then what is the difference?

TIA!!!

Gamsol is odorless mineral spirits, while blender pens have glycerin in them. Glycerin won't blend regular color pencils like the Gamsol. Mineral spirits is a much more powerful chemical, used a lot of times to clean paint brushes, etc.

Yup, what she said is correct. Not the same. Gamsol or Odorless Mineral Spirits actually 'melt' the wax of the pencils to move the color around.
