Somebody also suggested using Acetone on the area around the hole before applying the glue (or the glueless patch) and then the patch. The idea behind it was to thoroughly clean the area around the hole from any powder-like substance that came with the tube that enables it to slide easier when mounting to the tire.
At some point you have to find the balance between time, effort, and cost of a new tube.
