Answer 3

Answer 4

To get anything off glass?

A 2pence coin used as a scraper.

Answer 5

If it's been on there for awhile you can use a single edge razor blade and lightly scrape it off and then after that, use some goo gone to take away any residue.

Answer 6

Masking tape should come off glass very easily, but if you are talking about the residue which is left on the glass when you take the tape off then use some hot soapy water to remove it, whatever you do, do not scrape it. Windowlene might get it off.

Answer 7

Pull / scrape the tape off, if there is some adhesive left behind a glass cleaner spray should remove it, if not try a solvent eg turpentine, metholated spirits or petrol ( a little extreme but will shift the stuff)

Answer 8

Just pll it off, it`s not that hard.

Answer 9

Use a razor blade scraper, carefully, and remove the residue with "Goof Off".  You can get the stuff at Home Depot.

Answer 10

spray it with wd40 or hairspray and it should come off easily

Answer 11

Spray it with Pam, soak the area with vegetable oil or spray wd40 on it.  Any of these will get off old, dried masking tape.  After it has soaked for about 30 minutes, then scrape it off with your fingernail or a soft scrubby.

Answer 12

Score masking tape a few times with stanely knife blade (carefull not to scratch glass) or very sharpe blade then soak in thinners/white spirit/ paint remover to soften/remove the glue.

scrape of after couple of minutes of soaking.

Answer 13

hot soapy water

Answer 14

methylated spirits,or nail varnish remover.
