Tent wrinkles cause hot spots?

So I haven't grown in a few years, I had my tent in storage for a while. So I have everything set up ready to go but all the folds and creases I'm wondering if I'll have to worry about hot spots later. Or will the wrinkles cause light to reflect inefficiently. I'm using CFLs to start with but I have a MH and HPS bulb for later so I know how hot it will get in the tent. I have pics so you guys can tell me what you think. Should I put up that white reflective plastic? Anyone had experience where the wrinkles eventually smoothed out?

What you have will probably work fine for the short term. But yes, the wrinkles in mylar tent linings do cause hot spots. And both Orca Grow Film and flat white paint are better than mylar.

But mylar wrinkles aren't a death sentence for your plants. Many people use mylar for years.
