You're probably thinking of the liquid with "square" particles that 
wedge and/or jam into voids to build up worn (especially Phillips) screw 
heads.

Another approach is the use of an "Easy-Out" used primarily by the 
automotive guys.  Essentially a hardened "left-hand" coarse threaded, 
tapered thingy that can be jammed into a hole drilled into a broken 
bolt.  They are available in smaller sizes and will often work on a 
rounded hex or Bristol screw.
