      It sounds like ScotchKote. While prescribed by some communications 
manufacturers, it is actually designed for buried connections and doesn't 
have much in the way of UV resistance. I've gone up on lots of towers where 
the ScotchKote has flaked off over time. It doesn't claim to be UV resistant 
I don't think whereas Liquid Electrical Tape does. 

      Does anyone have longterm experience with LET? I've been using it but 
don't have any longterm observations yet.
