Same here. We have also used a product called "putz" which is a cleaner for press rollers and works pretty good on these drums as well.

Somewhere in the archives some guy says he puts clear nail polish on the scratch.
His explanation: It is easier to get away with a small blank spot than a small black spot.

some day I will try it.

This used to work on the Selenium Tellurium drums of many days gone by, because those machines (the early Mita's, i.e DC-131) had no cleaning unit or blade. There was a cleaning corona wire, that would release the charge from the drum after each cycle, then pull any residual toner back into the developing unit. There was no physical contact of a blade to the drum.

When this fix was attempted on later machines with cleaning blades, I discovered that it didn't work so well. The drum surface has to be perfectly smooth to clean properly, and that small lump of nail polish leaves a teardrop shaped comet-trail of toner behind after every revolution.

Now, ASi drums are considerably more durable than the Selenium Tellurium drums that I experimented on, so a tech could conceivably fill a scratch, then somehow buff the resulting surface smooth. That would never have worked on those earlier drums. I single fingerprint could be the end of a drum. =^..^=
