Can I add some coloring - food or otherwise - to my light weight spackle? I am hoping that this will ensure that I don't miss any spots when sanding. In this room, any spots I miss will stick out.
Thanks in advance.

I would not add food coloring - when the patch dries the coloring would be re-activated by the paint you applied next - and bleed through.
One thing you could try is a very light pencil mark near where your patches are - that way you would be able to see the general area - and they will sand off.
You also could try a halogen work light shining up the wall - painters do this all the time to check for missed spots - any areas you have patched will shine like a beacon.
Mr. Paint
Thanks again,
