No idea,usually it's the other way round with me.Air bubbles usually go away when the vinyl sits in the sun for a day or so. It could be that there were still pockets of moisture,and when it evaporated,left an air pocket.I"ve left a banner on my work table that looked great and an hour later,the odd bubble shows up. If the vinyl is self-healing, just prick the bubbles with a very tiny sewing needle.Do NOT be tepted to use the edge or end of an exacto knife.

Maybe someone else with the same problem will lend a hand here.

I think that it sounds like a soap problem...

What kind of soap did you use???

I always put some alchohol in mine when i make my own, try using rapid tac application fluid...
