So it was my first attempt laying down blackbird stripes. I am happy with how it looks. Not perfect but I can live with it. I noticed air bubbles and I can't get some of them out. They are small and barely noticeable but figured id ask to see if anyone here has tips for a noob.

I just put a couple stripes on mine this weekend too!

I had a few small bubbles. You can try taking a hair dryer to them this did helpe me some. If this doesn't work try taking a razor and cutting a pinpoint slit into the bubble pressing the air out. You will not see this tiny slit.

Use a pin or needle to poke the bubbles.

No you can do this anytime. Let it sit out in the sun for a while too.
