Bubble in PPF

After three years of trouble free PPF on the front and bonnet I managed to get a bubble of water under the PPF through an unseen stone chip right on top of the bonnet. What's the best technique for teasing it out back to flat? I can live with the little chip if I can get out what's underneath. It looks like the area close to the chip is back down but there is water further away that I can't easily push to the chip. Any expert suggestions? I may go to a PPF bloke but perhaps it's something I can do.
 
Just a guess......
Very fine pin hole in it and squeeze the water out.
Know any doctors who could get a fine needled syringe?
 
Done a few...

Pin and hot air gun... Beware any dust tapped underneath means it won't stick again.

Thanks Tel. Is a hair drier going to be warm enough do you think?

I did try the better half's blower. I even restricted the airflow a little to make it get hotter, but didn't really get hot enough to get the adhesive to stick.

Used a paint stripper hot air gun....VERY cautiously, and it works well.

You can smell PPF when i's getting to the right temp, it starts to give off a whiff. I can smell mine on a really hot summers' day!
