To high of heat will definitely split your veneer. I usually set the iron around 350-375 degrees. I also glue any joints I have and veneer tape them as well(they've split if I don't). I don't like doing this method on larger surfaces but sometimes you have no choice. I've done pommel sapele,mappa burl,camphor burl and many others. The sapele was the only one I had split within the veneer it self.
I don't like the method of reheating the applied glue( no offence Don). I tried that the first go around. The heat has to travel through the veneer to reactivate the glue causing alot of heat on the veneer surface before the glue can hold it in place. And I felt I didn't get as good of a bond between the veneer and the substrate.
Like Don said try some samples,see what works in your situation. Good luck!
