If you experienced bubbles between ribs and inner layer, that could be problem you apply too much glue on both side, I experienced that problem too, it ruins all works and time spent.

Tips on no air bubbles in a Decoupage

and you should get a perfect glue without bubbles

I tried to apply glue with edge of a plastic smear knife instead of brush, which results an even and wide spray area. I used it on both ribs and inner layer, put them aside for about 10 minutes, then apply both side contacted, with a dry towel I carefully rub in small circle on inner layer , to check if any bubble exists.

Then I apply all surface with iron in mild temperature, no hard pressure, for about two minutes.

The result is perfect!
