Many manufacturers use rubber squeegees to rub out any air trapped under the veil and the mold surface. Once the veil in place, wrinkles removed use a detail roller starting in the center of the part moving to the edge of the mold and remove any wrinkles or large air bubbles that may be trapped under the surface of the veil.
