Default Smoothing FBCT

I was wondering if anyone could share how they smooth out their frozen buttercream transfers. Mine usually have squiggly lines in them.

I'd like to know too! I've never tried FBCT. I always do the chocolate candy coat ones...

I use the Viva method. Normally I use my finger first so that it softens a little, then if it still needs it I use the fondant smoother.

I tried doing the paper towel method, but that didn't seem to make a big difference. I took a hot spatula and tried to smooth out the lines and then paper toweled it. That seemed to help.
