Subject: via's using homemade boards.

From: "Brian" <blue_eagle74@...>

I have made double sided boards. I have tried 30 AWG wire, to big for putting under componets and flat wire from trace repair kits. The problem I am having is solder buildup. I have tried solder wicking but leaves less than desired amounts of solder. I have even used replacement eyelets but either they are too long or the pad area is to big and/or wide to put under componets.

What have you used that works, besides through hole plating?
