Default Instead of Gamsol

For those of you, like myself, who have respritory problems, you should not use gamso, even though it doesn't have an odor. A long time ago when I first started using Prisma colored pencils I found plain rubbing alcohol works great. You can use fantastix sticks (available at Michael's), stumps, dried out blener pens, Q-tips, etc. I have not tried it in an aqua brush for fear the alcohol might loosen the bristles. Try practicing on scrap cardstock to get the feel and see if you like it.

Respiratory problem, like say asthma? :(

I just bought a large can of Gamsol. Boo hoo!

Maybe I should just use my Primas with the blender pencil and use my Copics for more intensity when I want that. :rolleyes:

The blender pencil drove me crazy - I went and got baby oil - I think I have just about mastered it that you put the tip to the top of the bottle and wick it... the last lot of coloring I did I didn't even get an oily ring around it!

I use baby oil, too. Several people have also posted that they use Goo Gone & some kind of floor cleaner successfully.
