That orange goop is supposed to stop brake squeal. Never known it to work yet. All it seems to do is glue the pads to the rubber brake piston dust covers, making it difficult to remove the pads without tearing up the rubber. Ditch the pads, buy some decent ones (ATE or somesuch), smear the backs of the new pads with a high temperature grease (bearing grease is fine). Bed in the new pads using a few firm but not overly forceful applications of the brakes leaving a few minutes between each application.
