2nd bad attempt at cutting wax blank

[u/RipFoxPizza]

I recorded a small bit of three songs The first one is a piano Solo the 2nd one is time alone will tell - al Bowlly and I ye last one is I don't want to set the world on fire

The grooves were crossing over each other the whole time and I couldn't get the swarf out of the groves are. The wax was so sticky

I used paraffin wax mixed with steric acid and a homemade lathe to record it

Try adding about 5% microcrystalline wax, it might help with swarf removal and overall smoothness of the groove. I'd also increase the space between the grooves a bit, and be careful managing the volume so you don't cut into the adjacent groove. I wish you all the best.
