Sounds like what I used at a long ago employer to seal calibration pots. By
sealing I mean in a security kind of way, if the customer made any attempt
to adjust the calibration it could only be done by cracking the stuff off.
It was called Glyptol as I recall, kind of like a thick varnish. Try an
electronics supplier perhaps. Sounds like the same kind of thing anyway.
