DS = Double-sided (in case you didn't know)
So I am in the middle of completing my DS board, until I inserted the first component, the 28-pin IC socket. What I can't seem to do is have solder connected to the device on both sides. I can easily apply solder to the solder side of the board, but I can't seem to apply solder to the component side without wrecking the socket.
BUT with an IC or almost any other component, I could get away with applying solder to the component side.
The only way I can see this being done is to apply a 30 AWG wire (diameter of < 1mm) through the same holes the IC pins go, and connect the wire ends to the appropiate spots in the circuit.
Is there a FASTER way to do it?
Because it would take a while for me to thread wire through almost every hole.
