It does exist though, and is (or was) something weird like lycopodium 
spores I think. Glycerin is useable as a liquid, but washing and drying 
will be required afterwards.

Best solution in enlargers is a half-glass carrier with Anti-NR glass in 
the top, IME. This is enough to flatten the film against the glassless 
lower carrier frame, without trapping dust against the emulsion.
