Fixing a scratch in an otherwise good lp


I seem to remember a method for fixing a scratch in an otherwise precious
lp which caused the stylus to jump. Does anyone remember it?What are the cautions?

Nice scope, but wearing the Jewelers glasses makes you look like a mad scientist ;)
I read recently about a method that the guy is successful, I intend to try it on a skip on my original "Abbey Road". It is not so much a skip as it gets stuck in that same groove and repeats. Not visible.
The method was as follows.
Use a cheaper turntable with a cheap stylus.
Find the point of damaged groove.
Revolve the platter by hand, in reverse, through the affected bit.
The theory is this will realign the groove to original shape/path.
I can follow the reasoning.
Of course the possibility is bending the cantilever of stylus, so use a cheapy.
The previous post said just buy another record. This is what I would normally do, But, my original "Abbey Road"?
It's worth a try.
