OK, so looking on ShadowKnyghts site, I noticed something very interesting. On one of the pictures, it shows the preparation of a VIA. I noticed that once the laquer on the VIA had been scraped off, he hadn't filled the actual hole, but had just put solder around the edge of it. Is this OK to do? Is the little bit on the outside before it goes into the track part of the VIA? I shaded the bit I mean on the little homemade diagram below if you don't understand what I mean,


Can I solder to the RED bit and it still work? Basically, is that red bit still part of the VIA?

Here's the proper picture I saw...


Thanks a lot... (Hope I confused no-one, I need help on this one)
