Thanks to every one who commented. I have resolved most of the issues by flattening the cap iron, restting the frog distance and just keep cleaning the resin gunk out of the mouth of the plane more frequently. I think this is only a problem now because of the wood I am planing, as I said before the smell of the shavings can clear sinuses.
I took the opportunity while I was trying to fix this issue to look at my other plane blades and they are all the same so I suspect I have early planes with laminated blades.17 June 2020 at 1:46 pm #665850The marks are just the lighting I needed to show the difference in shading. You should be able to see the micro bevel, then the fine polish section then the duller area. The distance from the edge to the hole is 36 mm and it is a crucible cast steel iron (if any of this helps).
I take your point about the frog setting and I will revisit Paul’s videos on the subject. The wood is so full of resin in places the shavings can clear your sinuses.

The cap iron has been got at in the past so the leading edge is odd.

There is a series of videos showing a whole range of restoration methods on youtube. Just search for Thomas Johnson restoration.
Cheers
