James and Bob.
Thanks for your feedback. Your timing was spot on in that Debbie and I had just been up to the local Michaels for some yarn for Debbie and I took the opportunity to see what they had in stock for stencil brushes. They had some dome shaped bristle brushes available and a number of the foam type you described. Debbie says the foam ones are called ‘pouncers’ in the Crafting World. Who knew.
I also had a look at the paints you mentioned, Bob. The white you described was not in stock, unfortunately. They had a sale on and it looked like that shelf had taken a hit.
I am using a latex paint for the boxes/cases and plan to pick up a small tin of the plain white eggshell finish base coat you add the tinting to, to do the stencils with, so should be OK there when the time comes.
