Although I consider myself an artist rather than an "artiste," I use odorless solvent (Gamsol). The reason is that I became very sensitive to the regular turpentine (any form including gum). Whenever I painted with it, by the end of the day I developed respiratory problems. Odorless solvent reduces this problem dramatically, perhaps because it doesn't evaporate as fast? I'm not really sure why, but for whatever reason it works for me.

Allan, it sounds like this product might be simply another brand of petroleum-based odorless solvent.
