Several times I have also pulled the entire differential out of my cars, installed and changed fluids. I have never used any type of RTV on the housing cover, though I did coat both sides of the gasket with a thin coat of greese. This will hold the gasket in place so you can install the cover properly. Also helps if you ever have to take the cover off again. I purchased a real nice differential cover from Mike at Focus Tech that allows me to drain without taking the cover off.
