Which seems to indicate it's the belt but, with my old SS pulley there was never any residue. Which makes me think maybe it was something the shop used in the process?

jcmusic Posted May 29, 2018 Author Share Posted May 29, 2018 Ok I agree that's what I thought also but, how long before it stops? Any idea? Seems like after a few hours of play it would have been done... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcmusic Posted June 1, 2018 Author Share Posted June 1, 2018 Well I tried polishing the two pulley's today with my dremel tool, the brass pulley still has the residue; but the ss pulley show improvement... So maybe more polishing will do it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcmusic Posted June 6, 2018 Author Share Posted June 6, 2018 Update for my friends: It turns out that it is the belt leaving this residue, I never had this problem in the past using the same belt material. The only thing I can think of is that I am at the very end of the roll of Mylar and that may have something to do with it??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
