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.
