Icing Transfers and Air Pockets

Hey, y'all! I've been having troubles with transfers causing unsightly air pockets when I drop them in  wet icing. It usually happens with larger pieces. When I set them down at first it's perfect! After 5 minutes or so this horrid air pocket emerges at an edge. It completely ruins my gorgeous cookie. I've tried setting an edge down and slowly allowing it to set down all the way . . . dropping it flat . . . piping icing on the back of the transfer and then applying. There's no one guaranteed way. Some will create the pocket while others don't. I'm using wax paper and taping it to a cookie sheet. Help! I've entered an art show competition and transfers would be ideal for what I have in mind. Thanks! Lynda B
