    SMT where through-hole should be?

    Somewhere... I don't remember where, but I have a piece of equipment laying around that has SMT caps (not chip type) sitting where a through-hole was meant to be. I guess as long as the solder touches it's okay, right? Is this hard to do or could I mimmick this on pretty much anything?

    Sure you can. It's a bit impractical though due to different spacings... i usually scratch copper traces free and use them as pads.
    Be sure you don't mix up polarization when using the underside.
