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?

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.
 I have found that the best way to cure those omnipresent skips and scratches on my LPs is to duct tape a medium sized lead fishing weight  to the tone arm directly above the cartridge. Most of the time it will force the stylus right through the damaged area, reshaping the groove and eliminating the skip. It is important to thoroughly clean the LP afterwards to remove all the resulting vinyl shavings!
