I've found that red electric varnish is too brittle for sealing. Liquid
electrical tape is what I would try. Firm but releases. Amazon

A fine brush or toothpick to apply it I think.
Several solvents in the mix.

A tiny blob of something really viscous (so it won't crawl up into the

Nail polish is viscous and readily available, and easily removed with a
solvent if needed. It's also not too brittle, so it won't crack with
small loads. Also because it's solvent based, it tends to work well on
fasteners with an oil film, because the oil goes into solution with the
solvent. You can also do color coding - red for this year, blue for last
year, or bands or whatever.
Probably any lacquer or solvent based paint would work.
I'm not sure I'd go with an epoxy - too hard to remove if you get too
much on. And, some don't stick well if there's an oil or grease film.
