Works even better if you put the tube in the freezer or freezing compartment of 
the refrigerator.  Take it out and IMMEDIATELY breathe on the tube.  If you 
wait for more than a few seconds the envelope will warm up and you have to 
start over.

If you have lost the tube markings on the tube envelope, try this which I 
remember from years ago.  Put the tube in the refrigerator, cool it down, then 
bring it into a warm room temp environment.  There will moisture condensing on 
the glass envelope, which sometimes leaves a readable outline of the tube 
numbers, which are otherwise no longer readable.
