Default cobalt majolica paint problem

Hi all,
Thanks for the info so far:
Yes, it's cobalt oxide I have been using.
Yes, it looks like little eyeballs.
Yes I have tried different glazes.
It looks as if is not well stirred.
what do I use to mix the cobalt oxide pigment with?
just plain water? arabic gum???
