Question is regarding appropriateness of Waterbased Enamels such as Aquacoat Bulletin Enamels on glasswork such as gilding, etc. Bob.

Bob,
Aquacoat is not formulated for glass. For glass backgrounds, try Ronan japan colors, 1shot art and poster color, or 1 shot enamels. In use of gilding, search the forum for "back up paint" or "backing up". The aforementioned are not tough enough to take a scrubbing during surplus gold removal. Letterhead Sign Supply sells great backup paints. Naz-Dar 59000 will also work for backup.
