One thing that helps eliminate the bubbles is to get a hard rubber roller that artists use to apply ink to woodcut blocks. It sometimes gets a bit messy when excess glue gets squeezed out the edges of the lamination, but does a good job eliminating bubbles.

a J-roller for laminate work (so called because its vaguely J shaped) Most DIY stores will have one - probably cheaper than a good brayer (which is the ink roller thingie) and designed to take the full weight of a large person.

Just to beat the horse a little more... I've used both the elmers spray glue and the 3M super 77. Both work well, but I prefer the super 77.
The secret to spray glue is to let it sit for a couple of minutes before you laminate the pieces together. I always run a roller over every piece I laminate... always. The roller crushes any balls of glue and ensures a solid, flat surface. I work as an art director at an advertising agency and we use this stuff almost everyday to mount artwork for presentations to clients. By the way, the best stuff to clean up the spray glue is Bestine. Be warned. It's a strong solvent. It'll make you go blind, go sterile, melt your eyeballs, and grow hair on your elbows... but it sure does a nice job cleaning up that super 77 glue.  David
