Mike:
That was my assumption too. But the burl arrived with a "tip-sheet." Of the
recommendations they suggested are to very much avoid using contact cement.
They suggest that the contact cement seeps through the burl. So I purchased a
two-part adhesive as recommended by Constantine's.
According to the tip-sheet, the burl is first dampened with a mixture of
water, alcohol and glycerin ... then placed between Kraft paper. They then advise
placing the burl under a flat wood panel with a minimum amount of weight. 24
hours later, the burl is examined to determine if it is still wavy. If it is,
the above procedure is repeated until the burl is flat.... Then, for the next 5
days, they suggest placing the burl between fresh (dry) Kraft paper to dry
the wood out, replacing with new Kraft paper each day.
The veneer is then kept under a weighted panel at all times until the bond is
made.
Lot's of work, but I saw a homebuilt at Oshcash last year having a burl panel
and it was the nicest looking panel I've seen. It really made that wooden
airplane look sharp.
A fellow TACO has been nice enough to offer his vacuum bagging skills and I
hope to do this process in a few weeks in the Dallas area. Maybe I'll post a
couple of pictures on Mykitplanes in a month or so if anyone is interested.

You can lay down your press like this Bottom board - wax paper - plywood
backing - glue (not contact, t-88 ok - veneer - wax paper - 1inch foam rubber
- top board / clamp this together sqeezing the foam. The foam will insure
contact over all of the veneer. C clamps and 3/4 top and bottom boards will
work fine.
