Wrinkles! :(

Hello! New kid on the block. In the final stages of putting together my strip built kayak. Last night I was a little miffed after a moth had dragged its wing fragments over my deck after having layed down the glass. Now the real juice, I have intermittent wrinkles that run diagonally across the boat from stem to stern. They are visible from only a certain angle and do not have any air trapped in them. I was careful in laying out the cloth making certain there were no wrinkles and brushing it out before wetting out. Used a fiberglass roller after and I was not able to see any problems afterwards. I left the boat on the form. What gives? Any thoughts, remedy...? :( Any feedback greatly apreciated!! Armin
