One of the keycap sets I have has no nipple/nub on the f/j keys (or scoop, or indication of any kind) and I'm trying to come up with a way to mark them for easy finding. The only (rather poor) idea I've come up with is hot glue but I'm not very fond of the issue and though maybe someone on GH has done some kind of modification for this in the past.

I recall someone having put on little stick-on "gemstone" dots... it's um, something.

Or could you find some F and J caps with a different profile?
Never tried it, but maybe it could work.

Like these? (http://www.keyboardbumps.com/)

If only they weren't so.... tacky. :p Found these (http://www.independentliving.com/prodinfo.asp?number=439625) though.
TY for autosuggestions so far, don't really want to use different keycap/profile because they're special order from QWERkeys so coloring and all that would be weird.

Well, they are tacky, but form follows function, IMO.

I agree, but I don't see the point of it saying 'bump' if the point is to not look at it. Gave me an idea though that blind people can't see (obvious, right? lol) and thus ended up here.

Those are huge... 1/4" diameter. I'd be looking for ~1/16" or maybe smaller.

As am I, but I doubt they'll exist. Scissors do. :D
