The self cleaning oven would probably do a good job on the belt residue but would almost certainly result in damage to the aluminum's material properties.  The self cleaning oven temperature is around 500C.  A quick online search seems to indicate 6000 series aluminum experiences recrystalizati

My bet is the toaster ain't going to work. What will work is if you have a self-cleaning oven. But the pulley and any completely blacken cookware you might want to also clean in the oven and run a self cleaning cycle. Any organic matter will turn to grey ash and fall off. On Wed, Mar 21, 2018

Gene, can your Sheldon swing the pulley? I had a similar situation recently with belt residue build up on my PB motor pulley. I tried all sorts of chemicals, acetone being the most effective, but that was still not very promising, so I resorted to mechanical means. I chucked the pulley up in the la
