Paid $120 for a vinyl repair kit, ended up making the crack worse somehow

Bought one of those fancy kits with the heat gun and the resin after my local record store in Charlotte said they could fix it for $80. I figured DIY would be smarter. Nope. Followed the video to the letter, but the resin pooled weird and now the record skips on the exact track I bought it for. The store guy later told me they use a $400 machine and my kit was basically for scratches, not cracks. Has anyone else wrecked something trying to save a few bucks? What did you actually end up doing with the broken thing?

Ever tried framing it as art? Crack might be the vibe.
