I do actually use Copperslip on the Z, but only to keep the pins from seizing up, never had a problem with squealing.

I have heard of bonding the pads in but never actually seen it done. I would see it as the next step after copper grease if the squeal was still there.

Although you'd have to carefully remove all that copper grease to get anything to bond!!!
