Where to Buy Gamsol in Canada?

[OakvilleMom]

Hi Ladies. I think I'm going to take the plunge and buy the large set of Prismacolors with my Mike's 50% off coupon.

Where can I buy Gamsol in Canada-either retail or online. I'm in the West GTA.

Thanks in advance for your help!

PS Any tips on the best type of CS to use?

here are the telephone numbers for the 2 stores in toronto that do sell it according to Gamblin

Toronto ABOVE GROUND ART SUPPLY 416 591 1601
Toronto WOOLFITT'S 416 536 7878


but you can also use the Mona Lisa brand at Michaels.
HTH.
happy colouring.

Thanks. Does the Mona Lisa brand from M's work just as well?

Does anyone know if Curry's art store sells it? God help me if I go in there again this week-I know I will end up dropping more $$$ on more Copics!

Cherished Scrapbooks in Mississauga carries it in a small bottle with the felt tip on top. You pay more per quantity but the bottle is useful. Otherwise, when it is time to refill I will be going to Wollfitt's.

Thanks! I will be near Cherished today-so will try and stop in.

If you go to the Gamblin website they have a store locator and I know there are several in Canada. Hope that helps! ;-) Need any stumps? Click on my link.

Thanks again. I went to Cherished and they just sold their last bottle this morning-I was there early afternoon. I went to one of my local Mike's and they were sold out-so I will go check out another one tonight. I did however get the 120 set of Prismacolors with my coupon!! Wootwoot!! I went to Curry's art store-came home with what the guy told me was odorless mineral spirits and got home and wow...there were some major fumes happening!! It's now on my front step where I can't see it. So I'm back to square one. I'm reallying hoping that I don't have to go into T.O. to get some. Maybe I'll just end up ordering from a US online vendor-does anyone know if Gina K or PTI sells Gamsol?

T.I.A.

Sorry you didn't have much luck with what you bought, hope you can return it!

Here is the link to the stores that carry it in Canada.

Also, here is the link to get it online......not sure who is in Canada from the list.

I've said this before.......you do get what you pay for......the less you pay the less you should expose yourself to it. AND sometimes it stinks! Sorry yours was so smelly.

I bought Daler-Rowney Low Odor Thinner, and it works fabulously. It says 'low odor' but I can't detect any at all, and it dries quickly too. I just couldn't find any Gamsol at the stores around here.
