Ron,
The question first is, are you talking about gluing each piece of individual burl to a backer, or are you wanting to glue the taped up face veneer pieces to the backer as a group. Either way, I would use a rigid glue between the face veneer and the backer. This is always the most important glue line. Whether you use the rigid glue between the two ply and the substrate is not as important. Also, you should put a two ply on the backside if you want a perfect balance, although it may not be necessary. That depends on the thickness of the panel and how it's going to be used. In general I don't two ply individual pieces of veneer if I can help it. I prefer to put them through the flattening process to stabilize them and only two ply the individual pieces if after flattening they're still too fragile to work with. As far as applying the glue I put it on the backer only. I tape the backer to the bench to help hold it in place while I roll the glue. Veneer tape would go on the backside, and then be removed before pressing the two ply to the substrate.
Sincerely.
