Hi TechNetters !!

I am facing  a typical problem. Our boards have 80~90 smt components on them
and all are on one side. Balance of PTH components are on both the sides so
after reflow, we use manual soldering.  I am looking forward to do manual
component insertion and soldering from component side to save time. My
question is - Is it the right way to  solder the component from comp side?
How do we ensure proper filling of PTH and proper joint at solder side?  We
are using no-cleaned cored solder wire from Kester. Presently we are using
additional flux but I want to eliminate it.

Looking forward to your answer. Thank you in anticipation.

Bye,
