Unless it's a really nasty, deep scratch (or an original copy of Gwen Owens :rofl: ), it always works.  Can also be done with records that stick.

Yes as the stick is caused by a nick of vinyl blocking the groove, doing the above should cut it out.

Its the first one causing it to jump. So can it be recut with a heavy needle

Yes.  That's what my idea effectively does - creates a continuation onto the groove.

I will fix a skip under a scope for $20 if you want me to. No chance of styrene burn, it's a deterministic process, and can fix even almost-impossible-to-fix parallel to the groove scratches and gouges.
