craftgrrl | i apologize in advance

this is probably the most redundant question, but i am so confused that i just had to ask. also, please note that i DID try the memories, but they are not currently working. i know others have experienced this problem as well.

anyway, any of you ladies or gents who are stencil vets should definitely help me out. i am trying to give someone directions on how to stencil and i know all of the steps involved, but i just don't know what kind of paint to recommend. so my question is what is the best paint to use for stenciling? general names or brand names would be fantastic.

i would've gone to a stenciling community, but i was a bit afraid to because i'm sure they get questions like that constantly. they would've probably ripped me a new one. that's why i came to you guys because i know you are helpful to even the most clueless. anyway, thank you (=

edit: also, i apologize for the text-only post. i am knitting a scarf now so you will see a photo update soon.
