My experience as a technician has exposed me to some through-hole contacts on 2-layer PCBs can sometimes be a problem. Some soldering can usually correct that.

I've contemplated trying just to see if I could do it, my thought was to use solder paste to interconnect traces on the layers and cook the board on a hot plate. I don't really think it's worth the hassle though, if I ever needed a multilayer board I'd just have it professionally made.
