I pump air into the tube when I'm sanding it down & applying the glue.
The escaping air will make a little froth, making the location easy to
spot to center the glue & patch.

I've tried that technique. It's especially useful when a small amount of
the talc on the inside of the tube blows out and spots the hole with a
white dot. However, about 25% of the time that spot disappeared when it
came time to apply the patch.

That's why I decided to line the tube up on a set of "crosshairs" and
lock it in place.
