Bubbles under Build Surface

More News on My ABS Printing endeavor.
I have been printing with Vinyl Transfer Paper Tape over My Build Surface now for Almost 1 year with no Build Surface adhesion Problems.
Now that I have turned up the Temp 86°-100°C to the Build Surface, Air bubbles are forming between the Build Surface and the Aluminum Heat bed.
Is this what everyone is mistaking for an warped build surface or is this something that is occurring only on my 3D Printer setup.
Don't tell me I should have done an auto bed leveling, because my inductive proximity sensor cannot detect the non-ferrous build surface material.
And if I had a BL-touch the bubbles easily compressed with the slightest pressure back to the aluminum bed appearing to not be there, so do not believe a BL-touch would have made a difference.
Now an optical bed sensor would have detected the bubbles but when the Nozzle came across the bubble it would merely deform the bubbles causing the bed leveling data to still be inaccurate.
Anyway I took a sewing needle and poked tiny holes in the build surface and squeegeed pretty hard to remove the air bubbles,
an make the build surface level again.
