Default RE: covering

This material works fine but does not stretch as much as Coverite fabric or Koverall., so it must be pulled tighter as you apply it.

Since your fabric has no adhesive, I apply Balsarite or Stix-it to wood first, then apply the fabric.
Maybe you don't have any adhesive under the bubble.
Your bubbles will iron down if there is adhesive present.
I have not had your probem.if it was me i would recover.
