Default Teflon or brute force

Thanks.

Do I use regular pipe dope for galvanized pipe, the stuff that comes in a
small tube, or is there a special dope for PVC?

When I use threaded fittings for schedule 40 irrigation pipe, do I use

Pipe dope. It lubes the threads so you don't have to use so much force to
get it tight.
