I accidentally melted the plastic handle of a knife on to a metal conveyor belt in an oven, I tried to pry it off but I don't want to break the belt. What can I do?
Most plastics soften appreciably between 220-300°F. An electric paint stripping gun, or possibly a hair dryer might permit you to peel or scrape it off. If the plastic has burned (carbonized) heat will not help but a sharp scraper should chip it with patience.
