Brake pads

Installed Greens Stuff 2000 brake pads. Once they warm after about 5 or 10 min of driving the left side squeals constantly and stops with a very slight amount of pedal pressure. Release the pressure and the squeal returns. They stop very nicely and are satisfactory in every other respect. Any suggestions to stop the squealing?

Green stuff can make strange noises whilst bedding in. Once that's done they can still sound different to mainstream pads under braking.

Mine came with a couple of pieces of sticky backed plastic for the back of the pads. It didn't stop the odd strange noise every now and again but I got used to it. Maybe the usual copper grease on the back will quieten them down?
