I'd avoid using any form of glue when making stereocards. My preferred
method is "Duo-Tac", a two sided adhesive available at art supply stores.
You can trim the sheet to fit your prints, then peel off one side of the
adhesive and attach it. Peel off the other side and your prints become
adhesive labels. A lot of card makers use 3M's PMA, which is more
economical, but needs to be used more carefully since adhesive can get on
the print during trimming. An excellent source for information about making
sterocards is the APEC how-to page:
