Default Polyester Material Covering help

I have used some polyester covering material on my 4 * 60 and it worked great for the fuselage, but the wing is another question. I used stix-it to apply the material than followed up with a heat gun to shrink it. Once I applied the nitrate dope using a soft brush the material seemed to get a few ribbles in it. I let it dry and tried once again to use the heat gun to shrink out the ripples with no affect. Is there a way to get these ripples out or do I have to remove all the the material and start over.[] Any and all help is appreciated.

Thanks

I don't have any experience with polyester but thought someone should give you a hand. Your question has been answered before. Look in the middle of the first page of the thread.
