Have you considered studying how the Early enaissance painters made their glowing glazes? They didn't use any medium. Just oil paints that were rubbed, daubed and stippled. It produces a feeling of sollidity instead of the smeared jelly sandwich look that most duffers get when making what thee think are glazes They're actually just medium-rich washes)

The advantage of doing it the right way is that 1. the paint looks like a solid part of thee painting, not a floating smear, and 2. you can render with a real glaze. You can't really render with a medium-rich wash.
