[Dehoyos, Ramon]  Another way would be to  place  the SMT components
on both sides without any glue and mask the components that are going to be
in the wavesolder with PC Flex Mask by Contronic Devices before the THT
parts are wave soldered. Personally have not used it for that purpose yet
but have talked to Contronics and been told that some customers use it in
that manner.  AT this time that mask is being used to cover areas that do
not need to be soldered.

          Regards,
                Ramon
