What is the best (read most fool proof) way for a neophyte PCB builder
to get continuity through the holes on a double sided board?
If a component-lead such as a resistor's are "naked" top and bottom, simply
solder that lead on both sides of the board. If not available on top, such
as a rectangular-box capacitor, use jumper-lead wires, if not TOO cumbersome.
Or, if you simply MUST have a "plated-through hole," use tin-plated rivets
or eyelets. Be sure to sweat-solder the "head" before you put a component
over the top side of these! Takes a bit of experience to learn how to do right,
but not TOO bad for prototypes ("one-off" stuff, in UK).
