What's this?

I sprayed it with a few coats of matte workable fixative, which is...


... an artist supply that one uses on pencil/charcoal drawings to keep from smudging the graphite. That let me put some latex primer on it and it appeared to stick OK.

But that caulk was indoors, not outdoors. I have no idea what the durability of the paint over fixative might be outdoors.
