How did you end up ?
Good morning,
The wrinkles went away when a heat gun was used - the sealing iron wouldn't do it.
Not sure what kind of covering you are working with, but I would try a heat gun.
You must work slowly and be sure not to burn the covering.

My particular situation was Ultracote - not sure what you're using, but some coverings may react differently.

Let us know how things work out for you and best of luck.

Merry Christmas,
