The other possibility is to put the record in the refrigerator and get
it very cold. The vinyl and the wax should shrink and you might be able
to (very carefully) chip/pry the wax off.

Hmm - tried that - no luck :(( Someone has sugested an iron and
newspaper - but while I'd be happy to do that to a carpet I think I'll
give it a miss in this instance.
On a related note, before you record your vinyl
wipe the records
down with a damp sponge and leave them damp when you record. The
water actually helps the needle pick up the sound from the grooves
better than when it's dry. I have been told that you can add a small
amount of soap to the water and that helps as well but I haven't
tried that yet.
I'll give that a try and see what happens...
