wrinkles in fiberglass

Now my new problem is self inflicted. I used a heat gun to help level out the epoxy while putting on the second filler coat of epoxy on the newly fiberglassed hull. To much heat!!!! Some wrinkles formed that won' go away. Is there any possible way to repair this? Or do I just have to live with it? It is only a visual problem but it's bugging me. Lesson learned - don't use a heat gun. The only reason I used it was because it was only about 58 degrees and the epoxy was going on too thick evan though I heated the epoxy with a space heater first.
