If the wing is sheeted poke a hole it the covering take out all the air and reseal the covering with the iron. If its open bay use a heat gun it should get rid of any covering problems. (If you dont have a heat gun i strongly suggest getting would there a life saver if your not a pro at covering)

O its an ARF right? Borrow a heat gun from someone at your club or you can try to use a blowdryer. They dont produce alot of heat but what you can do is set it to the highest heat setting and limit the input of air getting into the dryer this will produce less but hotter air. (But a heat gun is so much easier)

A while ago, I had to patch up the white covering on my avistar. I use a small piece of standard white monokote from a roll. I noticed that the avistar's "monokote" was actually thicker and less transparent than the standard monokote. I have a feeling that econokote was used in the arf, rather than standard monokote. I am still trying to get some thickness comparison info. If it is econokote, the working temperature for covering is less. FWIW......
