Subject : 2 part cauls

If I am using 1/4" melamine for a caul but it isn't long enough, can I butt 2 pieces together to cover the work. I am wondering if there will be a line in the finished veneer where the two parts of the caul came together? If insignificant, then I don't have to custom cut a caul for each pressing job I do. Maybe I could use masking tape on the outside of the 2 pieces to insure the gap is minimized. I would appreciate your opinion.

I would appreciate your opinion.I do this alot and as long as they are closely butted, never had any problems. Taping them together from the top (so the tape does not touch the veneer) helps for alignment.
