Then i can work from the start of the bubble to the edge, giving the air somewhere to escape to? Obviously i would start from the middle of the roof and work outwards. I havent really found many instructions for installing it so im writing down a plan of action to try and eleviate known problems.


Edit: also should add i would be heating to bubbles as i push them out so they dont crease once they are almost gone as there will be alittle bit of extra material from the large bubble.
Different grades of wrap need somewhat different techiques to get the best result . . .that is the extent of my knowledge sorry.
