I used to dread thickness sanding oily woods like rosewood and ebony because it clogs the belt with thick clumps of wood that are nearly impossible to remove. So, I tried heating a cloged belt on a bending iron to soften the wood, and was able to clean it with just a few passes of a crepe dressing stick. This really works and will end up saving money on sanding belts.
