How much grease should you put on the pedal threads when installing pedals?

Also, do you really need a pedal wrench?

I'm buying a used bike and am too broke to go also pay to have the pedals put on it. The person that I'm buying it from rides it every day, so I'm not even going to tune it up.

Putting pedals on isn't t something I can screw up, is it? It sounds pretty straightforward. Could I just use some vice pliers or and actual normal wrench to put the pedals on? Any special grease for the threads, or will any grease do? Perhaps just some WD-40? Plumber's tape?

Thanks!
