Solder-fill all the vias (pass-though holes) with the "no-clean" solder. Don't use the washable flux solder for this. Vias are such a freaking nightmare; they are the cause of more motherboard failures than anything else. Board makers that allow the soldermask to flow over over unsoldered vias are just asking for trouble. Crow /**/
