How do I find a puncture in a latex tube ?

The reason I ask is because when I pump it up it expands a lot and I think it may not be enough pressure to open a tiny puncture hole.

If you want to be a strong rider you have to do strong things.
However if you train like a cart horse you'll race like one.

    latex tubes are thinner and prone to doing this - you could place it inside a bare tyre to support it when you pump it up to find the location of the puncture
