I use nothing like that anywhere near my scopes - not even spring piston air rifles.  Properly torqued fasteners need nothing additional.

Be sure your dovetail grooves are well cleaned with solvent.  You need do nothing further.

Not needed.   Nothing is trying to shake the scope to death, tighting the degreased screws/rail should take care of anything short of dropping the rifle (and if you do that, doesn't matter what you did or didn't  on the screws).
