Hello all,

 I just finished my first double sided board using UV to transfer the tracks.
The board turned out really well, except I'm having a problem while drilling.
When drilling holes that don't have a track attached (ie: just a pad), the pad
lifts off the board and goes onto the drill bit? It really isn't a HUGE problem
since there is no track attached, but I do lose a soldering point... which
brings me to my next question.

 Are there any techniques used for soldering a component on both sides of the
board?  What I mean is that it's easy to solder the bottom side of the board
since it's just the component leads that stick out... but on the top side, I
have to sorta squeeze the iron between the board and the component - this can
easily burn the component, and it looks kind of messy since the component isn't
all the way down against the board. But I can't think of any other way to
solder it to the top tracks??? I hope I have explained myself clearly,

Thank you,

Jai
