After much internet searching, phoning and running around, I found Gamsol in Canada. You will not find it under that name but as "Taltine". I bought it in Edmonton, Alberta at a store called Colors. I got a 75 ml bottle for 2.50. I was told you can also get it at a store called Delta Art. Look for any specialty art store in your area and you should be able to find it under our Canadian name. I've made a few cards with it, and I'm very pleased with the results. Hope that helps you out.

I need help finding gamsol
I live in Canada, and went to Michaels, they didn't even have a clue what i was talking about?! Is there a name that i am looking for? what size of bottle, what does it look like.
Does misterart.com ship to Canada? That's where I get mine. Good luck finding it, you'll be so glad you did. Don't forget to order the blending stumps too.
Go to an art supply store. You will generally not find it in a craft store. I don't know if they have Dick Blick in Canada, but that is where I got mine.
Watch out for the online stamp stores because they like to sell you 2-4oz for the same price as the 8oz container that would be found in an art supply store.
InkyAntics.com has it in a small bottle with an applicator, don't remember the cost but it will be great for refilling, purchased a 16 oz. from DickBlick.com for 6.95 I think.
Hello ladies! I live in South Texas and I also had a hard time finding gamsol down here. I went to Hobby Lobby and Michael's and they didn't have a clue as to what the product was. I finally ordered mine through inky antics and should be getting sometime next week!

That's what I did. The one from DickBlick came real fast.

I ordered mine over the Internet from inkyantics.com. Let your fingers do the shopping on your computer. Oops! Maybe they don't ship to Canada. Check it out, though. They have some cute stamps too!

The bottle is small but it lasts forever...I have had mine over six months with constant use and I have only used between a quarter to a third of the bottle. And I believe they ship to Canada and just charge actual cost.
I found it in quite an unlikely spot. I was in the paint department at Wal-Mart, looking for a different craft item ( ) when I noticed that they had odorless mineral spirits---at least I'm pretty sure that's what it was. I didn't get it, but I know I thought it was the same thing mentioned on here. It was a HUGE bottle for about $5.00. Maybe other home repair stores might have it, or paint stores.
No that is not the same. Gamblin Gamsol is VERY HIGH QUALITY odorless mineral spirits. It is among the best and cleanest OMS on the market. It makes a difference.
I got a large canister of odorless mineral spirits at Lowe's for around $5.00. I hear that Gamsol works great but since I have never used that brand the kind I got works great for me! And it's odorless mineral spirits, not thinner. HTH!

It is the best! If you are going to invest the money in the prismacolor pencils and your time, invest in the Gamblin Gamsol. It works faster (in movement of the pencil color) and in the smoothness of the coverage. There is no lifting in your paper from any pressure you use.
Other grades of OMS can and do drag the color and will shred your paper and leave streaks.
Just my 2 cents worth.

I have used both odorless mineral spirits and gamsol and it's pretty hard to tell the difference. At least you could use the OMS to get started and then order the gamsol. You won't be dissapointed with either one. Enjoy!
