An apparatus for skimming oil from the surface of a liquid is disclosed. The apparatus includes an endless belt which is formed from the loop portion of a loop and hook type fastener. The belt is supported to move in a path of travel with a portion of the belt disposed within the liquid. As the belt travels, oil is captured within the material of the belt. A scraping mechanism is provided for scraping an initial amount of oil off of the belt. Rollers are provided for squeezing out the remaining oil on the belt. Oil which is removed by the scrapers and the rollers is captured in a pan and collected.
