We are assembling a small, panelized board that has all surface mount
components on one side and all through-hole components on the other side,
thus all solder is on one side of the board.

There are 9 through-hole components on each board and there are 16 boards
per panel.  Besides doing the SMT first and then coming back and hand
soldering the through-hole parts, how are other people doing this?  Does
anyone do the through-hole first and come back and do the SMT later?  If
so, are you using a fixture to cover the pads for the SMT parts, or do you
mask, etc?

Suggestions and comments are greatly appreciated.
