Default Rawlbolt holes - treatment a good idea?

Hello

http://www.allproducts.com/manufactu...r/product1.jpg

Having just fitted four of these into brickwork (amazingly without cracking
any of the bricks like I managed to do a month ago, and amazingly getting
all four to line up with where they were supposed to be), it occurs to me
that maybe I should spray something into the hole before I tighten up the
rawlbolt. I thought some form of silicone spray to prevent water ingress.
Then I thought about some form of grease to stop the rawlbolts from seizing
up should I need to remover them at some future juncture.

Please advise - or should I just press on and get them fitted and stop
messing about!

Thanks

DDS
