Mineral spirits
Ok, so I was in Michael's today ready to purchase this and I have no idea what I am looking for! I saw Mona Lisa brush cleaner, turpentine, and some kind of seed oil. What exactly am I looking for? Can someone show me your bottle??

Do you have a way to dispense it? You can find sponges and jars in Michael's too -- should be in the same aisle as the OMS.

HTH!

I bought the Grumbacher, Pre-Tested Odorless Thinner from Michael's and it works fine IMO.

What is it "pre-tested" for? (And who pre-tested it?) That just strikes me as funny! ;)

I don't know if this has anything to do with pre-tested,but this is what I found as far as differences between Gamsol and the hardware stores brands.....
