Brake clean is the trick. I sand first, then brake clean. I also stick the patched tube in a tire right away and inflate to some pressure, maybe 50 psi. I figure that the pressure will make the patch adhere a little better to the tube. Seems to work.
Park stick-ons are OK in my experience, but others are not.
