slather
Apply with abandon
To slather is to spread thickly and liberally: She slathered sunscreen on the kids before the beach.
The word suggests generous, even excessive application—butter slathered on bread, praise slathered on a mediocre performance.
A slather (usually plural) means a large amount: slathers of mayonnaise.
