    Question liquid for blending stumps and prismas

    I have the stumps and the nice pencils but I can't for the life of me find the odorless white spirit.
    Can anybody help? A brand name and/or a shop name would be a GREAT help!

    Thanks in advance
    -Amy

    I use Zest-it, and got it in our local Art Store in Dorchester, Dorset if that helps, its made in the UK and distributed by C. Robertson & Co Ltd, in London but try googling it or try ebay, or if you have a local art store its actually got Oil Paint Dilutant and Brush Cleaner on the bottle with a pleasant citrust smell!!!!! lol its a Non-flammable, Non-Toxic, environmentally friendly alternative to white spirit apparently!!!!

    Thanks all. I've just ordered some zest-it from that auction site - my local art shop never seems to have anything in stock!

    I use Sansodor as well, tried Zest it and found the citrus smell overpowering, and didn't think it blended the Prismas as well as the Sansodor does

    My zest-it just arrived [good service!] so I'm going to have a play with it. Hopefully it will work

    I use Bartoline odour free white spirit that I bought in B&Q. Couldn't get the hang of Zest-it at all.

    there is a fantastic tutorial on how to use prismas with odorless spirits, if anybody is interested pm me and I will give you the link as I am sure it would be deleted if I posted it here as it leads to another great forum in the US!!!!!
