I HEAR YA !
So far you did everything right.
It SOUNDS(sorry bout dat)
like you shoes are reglazing. Try using OEM shoes to make sure
you’re getting the correct compound.

Might as well get a set of shoes at autozone or something they are very cheap and a pack of brakeware. thats like 5 bucks and replace all the springs and shims and whatnot. You should be golden then. Do not use some old shoes laying around.
