Until the glue sets its a good thing to run your fingers up and down the bow squeezing out pockets and bubbles and such. I do this with snakeskin it takes a few minutes but I find if I do that until the glue sets it turns out quite smooth.
Pat B:
I agree with Nate. Also cut the paper closer to the outline of the bow and it will help make it lay flat. After the glue has set some but not cured I like to use a pin or sharp razor to puncture the backing to get the excess glue or air out. If you use a razor make a small slit over the limb and in the direction of the limb(not across it) to squeeze the glue or air out. You probably won't get it completely flat. The paper wrinkles when it gets wet.

If you moisten the paper it helps it lay flatter.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone!
So, is it ok to continue with it the way it is?
