For mounting the base(s) you should use LocTite or other thread locker.As for the scope ring screws I don't recommend doing that.The LocTite I recommend is the Blue #242 which is removeable.DON'T use LocTite Red #262 you'll never remove the screw again.That Red is some powerful stuff.I've heard but never tried using Clear finger nail polish.Any auto parts store will have the LocTite 242.I use both 242 and 262 at work. Trust me the 262 is permanent especially on small screws. You shouldn't need anything on the scope rings screws. If you do something isn't right
