It is probably liquid latex. The object to be coated can be dipped into it with multiple layers to build it up. Be sure to clean any metal parts with hot water and soap and thoroughly drying followed by acetone before applying the latex. Do NOT use acetone on most plastics! Once you start applying the latex, let it dry between coats. Drying time varies depending on humidity, temperature and brand/viscosity/thickness of applied layer.
