by rubbing edges of the pads mad hat man means where it touches the caliper carrier. not the area against the disk.
sounds obvious but you'd be surprised how many times i have seen it.

yup - i did say metal bits. make sure none goes on the brake lining material & only put a thin smear on. Coppaslip goes a long way ( and yu cant get it out clothes or car seats
)

its not essential ,pads can be quite happy fitted dry as long as caliper is clean and pads fit well

true - but it can help reduce brake squeel. EBC pads always come with grease.
and they come from the factory with all nuts n bolts dry, but lots of peeps refit with coppaslip.

Normally I find it removes the grease, but leaves a nice shiny copper stain which wont come out
