They do make a product specifically for thickening craft paint - made by Liquitex. You can also use cornstarch - perhaps this blog link can help: http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/archive/index.php/t-25347.html. -

Thank you! Cornstarch crossed my mind, but I just wasn't sure. -

you don't need to thicken if to remember to not only wipe the paint off. After dipping into it, but then wipe most of it off on paper towel. The biggest mistake people make when stenciling is not brushing off all the excess paint. -

I never thicken. Use as is but very thin coats so not to smear. May take seversl coats to get dark enough. Make sure dry between coats. Thinner coats work best. Patience is key!
