Default Fork slider reinstall?

Just a quick question about reinstalling fork sliders. When you guys put them back together do you put a little silicone or something on the 6mm bolt at the bottom of the fork. When I took it apart it looked like it had some thread sealer or something on the threads. The manual doesnt say anything about it. Just wondering.
