David,
You can use heat with urea resin glue. If however your veneer is oversized it would not hurt to still use the tape until you are comfortable with the " heat set" technique. I use that method when I want to lock a veneer joint on specific location on a panel or small piece. Another technique is to staple the veneer to the substrate, and by staple I mean the kind of staple commonly used in a paper stapler.. this is good for a panel that is over sized and the staple will be trimmed away in the final sizing mode. When it comes to glue, as the great Mies van Der rohe once said, "less is more".
It is definitely better to do both sides at the same time to avoid cupping.
