Title: How To Remove Cellotape From Windows Help!
Post by: Pitcorthie on April 01, 2006, 05:03:04 pm

Hi Everyone, Hope someone can help me :)
I made the mistake of cellotaping my Xmas lights to my window and now I can't remove the tape.It has left awful marks and I just can't get the tape off ::)
I don't want to scratch the window by scraping at it.Is there any product which would help remove this ???
Thankyou
Sharon

after wetting the tape you should be able to peel the backing off then use wd40 to break down the glue or of course do the above depends what you have around really

I use Bettaware sticky stuff remover, rub it in well with a bit of paper towel, and scrape it off while it's wet and gooey.
