Default Big sign with creases

I know is late, exactly the reason why I am asking for help, I am doing a big sign 4x8 feet using high performance reflective vinyl. Along the way, because I am a new at this I got some really bad creases where the vinyl is like folded. Is there any way to fix to make it better? Please I any comments with a little piece of advice will help. Thank you.

You can try heating it a little with a heat gun or hair dryer and rub it down with a felt squeegee or a finger.

You can use knife, slit it ... if not huge crease, you wont see when its up.
I remember when I use to screw up signs like that 24/7 get like a lawn sign big squeegee tool and I have had zero bubbles or issue, haven;t use the big squeegee Ha
