Liquid masking materials?

2004

I need to develop a process for masking small connector components as part of the preparation before electroplating them with nickel and gold. The masking material needs to be somewhat adhesive because we "glue" our small parts into a rack that is custom designed to hold the parts. I would like to have a material that I can dispense from a needle. Our parts are small, so we will mask them under a microscope.

Please advise on a liquid adhesive masking and the proper chemicals to remove it after plating.

Thanks,
