Ah HAH!   Now it comes back to me.

I sure do.  It was sold at lots of FLAPS and I was wondering how many 
ball joints came apart after passing a safety inspection because 
they'd been "snugged up" by this epoxy-like stuff that was designed 
specifically to make a worn out ball joint appear sound.

I wouldn't have used the stuff on a bet.
