Smile Balancing tires

Has anyone had problems balancing their slicks?
I was having an issue balancing a slick just recently, it
would not come around!
Talking to an old school tire guy, he told me about a
mark on a tire(s) that he always used to locate the valve
stem position.
After emailing a race tire company's tech guy, he told me that
the above mentioned mark is an inspection mark.
I may be the only one that does not know about "the mark",
but, once I re-positioned my slick and stem to the "mark",
the tire balanced up great!!
BTW I am using tubes & rim screws.
