For prototypes that need vias and you want
to do at least one spin at home before
sending off to a factory made board

TRY the copperset through hole plating
repair kits or a new nice one from t-tech

http://www.satcam.com.au/mechanicalth.html

I have the old copperset one and a friend
of mine has the t-tech one.

They are perfect for doing protos when
for thermal vias under IC's

Or just gear up for PTH at home :)
