how to attach '57 jack instructions?

What is the proper way to attach a new jack instructions sheet in the trunk of my '57 Coupe de Ville?  I see in some pics on the internet that the original was stapled in each corner to the trunk insulation before gluing the insulation to the trunk lid.  My current trunk insulation is perfect and I don't see how I can staple in to it.  Using glue would possibly ruin both the poster and the insulation.  My Caddy had a complete restoration in the past but they forgot about putting this back in and I'm trying to get her ready for judging at the Grand Nationals in a few weeks.  Any suggestions would be great!  Thanks in advance, Cheri Copeland

You might want to try one of those "Glue Sticks"
that they sell.  They are acid free and won't seep
through the sticker and leave a mark.  They do
hold rather well.

I would not use any type of liquid glue for fear of
staining the sticker.

I ended up using small magnets because the glue kept wearing off for some reason.  On my '56 there isn't enough room for this huge placard without going over some of the openings in the trunk lid.
