Duck tape residue on glass
Apr 07, 2005

I need suggestions for removing the mesh like duck tape residue from glass. Thanks S2
I've found the best to be lighter fluid.
Start with a singe edge razor blade scraper to get the bulk of it off.
Gasoline on a paper towel. Rub. Or perhaps on a nylon scrubbie. Kerosene, if you want to be safer. Ronsinol lighter fluid if you wish.

Yes! Naptha is a great solvent.
Wow, you're a blast to have around.
The next time, use Gaffer's tape - it does everything that duct tape does, but doesn't leave the goo behind. Audio / video folks have used it for years to temporarily lay down cables without ruining them.
Coleman stove fuel, the old stuff in the can.
Goof-Off or lacquer thinner.
WD40 on a rag.

WD-40 sprayed on a rag will do it every time!
God is a friend of mine.

let the neighborhood cats in to lick it off
