Oh, one other thing, for grisaille enameling I tried sesame oil with a drop of glycerin as you suggested but it seems not working for me. The enamel mixture I made is curdling and slipping away from brushing so it is difficult to smoothing out...
I think I’m using 200~300 mesh powder - I'm not sure I do not have a really fine sifter to measure my enamel powder. I sifted my enamel with 150 mesh sifter then I grinded it really finely.
What mesh of enamel are you using for grisaille?
I do use 80 mesh very lightly for an initial sifting for making outline of design, then I use the fine enamel mixture I made it as above, I tried mixing enamel with lavender oil, olive oil, CMC, water etc. However I'm not satisfied with any of these so far but hope you may help on this, too...
