Squeeky Brakes

I know this is a stupid question but how do make my brakes quit squeeking?? The brakes are like 6 days old and I got the cheapest kind of pads, I know to get new/better pads, but is there a quick fix I can use until then? EVERY time is even get close to stopping they just scream!

EDIT: i've also heard of "blue goo" anyone used this as a anti-squeek compound?

The reason they squeek is because you didn't heat cycle them properly when you put them in. I've done about 10 break jobs without using anti-squeel, and as long as you break them in properly you don't need it and they will never squeek.

How do you break them in properly? I have been taking it very easy on them.

Thanks for the info, i'm sure that would work but there's no where to do that here.
