Craig, first let me thank you for this response.
Second, this may be huge and something I didn't know. I'm using Unibond 800. So are you saying that small amount of heat on the corner will activate the Unbind just enough to tack it in place?
I've only been veneering one side of 3/4 Spanish cedar (humidor build) believing it would stay flat and not cup/bow once pressed and cured. When I do just one side I cut the veneer oversized, tape the very tips of the four corners to the caul, lay the Spanish cedar substrate on that (coated with Unibond 800), tape that down to avoid shifting and then top it with another caul. However, I recently discovered the cedar will, in fact, cup slightly with highly figured burls if not veneer backed. If what I think you're saying is true (which would be a huge time saver), I could eliminate all this taping not only for the non-show side (cedar veneer) but the show side as well.
Please let me know if my assumption is correct and thanks so much!
