I have used the three hole on the backs of some panels when they won't be seen. So far, I've never had any delamination but I do get telegraphing through the finish. I can even see the tape before finish while sanding. This is easily ignored because these faces will never be seen. (Unless somebody takes the piece apart.) However, to use the three hole correctly, one must align the tape exactly over the veneer seam. This is slow to accomplish. I've found that I'm just as well off time-wise to use regular tape and remove it, and I enjoy the work more. Furthermore... truth be told, I've even left the tape on some panels that get installed with that face toward a wall or back... places where the applied veneer is strictly for panel balance and not for looking at.
