Gamsol is a brand name of odourless mineral spirits. If you have a Michaels nearby, they sell the Mona Lisa brand and the Sansodor (can use a coupon then) - at least they do at the ones in my area. Also, if you have any art supply stores in your area, they will more than likely carry some brand of odourless mineral spirits.
Once you have the dauber bottle, you can order the larger refill bottle of Gamblin Gamsol from Dick Blick, pop off your dauber top and refill it.
I have tried using the odorless mineral spirits available in stores but I didn't like it. You can also try using Goo Gone or baby oil. I've found baby oil to work pretty well.
I know you said online supplier but have you checked Walmart, that is where I got a bottle of odorless Mineral Spirits (Mona Lisa). Check in the paint department, also I have never thought to look myself until now while typing this but you might want to check hardware stores as well.
Also best advise I got was to get a very small opaque lidded container to pour small bits into, that way you don't have to worry about contaminating the whole bottle of oms. Just refill the smaller bottle as needed.
Thanks for the information - we were talking about gamsol tonight at our stamp club meeting. I will share looking at Dick Blick rather then Inky Antics.
Someone said her gamsol was evaporating. Don't know what kind of container she has it in.
I bought the Inky Antics bottle at least 5 years ago. I pulled it out a few days ago and noticed a quantity had evaporated. I wasn't too upset since I use it maybe a few times a year! I'll have to see if the dauber top can be removed.
Just checked Dick Blick. They sell a 2 ounce bottle for under $3, but the shipping is $8.95.
We have a Dick Blick in our town, and I called on their bottle since it was such a good price. It doesn't have the dauber top, so that's the draw back if you're looking for that one.

Just slip an X-acto blade or something similar under the white dauber top piece and you can pry and pop it off .
Looking for a cheap mail order place to buy gamsol
