This isn't unusual with ANY brand of covering.

Just apply heat with a heat gun or iron

Yep.........going from hot to cold and back will bring bubbles out. If you get it perfect most of the bubbles won't come back.

If the wrinkles are over wood (not over open structure) then re-shrink it with a heat gun and immediately rub the 'kote down onto the wood with a cotton ball or monokote fleece glove. It has to still be hot/warm when you rub it down. You'll find this will really reduce the possiblity of the bubbles coming back.
