Resistor across pot values

[SprinkleSpraycan]

Okay, I need a dual gang b10k pot. But I only have b50k dual gangs. So I soldered a 15k resistor across the outside lugs. But I hit 10k around 7oclock, spike up to 16k around 2oclock and then down to 10k fully clockwise.

Why? How to I get rid of this hump?

I've used this method before without this problem albeit on larger values. Confused.

The R goes from the wiper to one of the outside lugs.

If it's for some sort of frequency control you might be better off using frequency caps 5 times smaller. 
Always pays to check if the change affects any surrounding circuit.
