Answer 2

try putting ice on it. That will harden the silly putty and you should be able to pick it off easier. When it starts getting putty like again, put more ice on it.

Answer 3

to clean glass and mirrors. For some reason it won't streak. Also to paper train pets, to wrap up glass and fragile items for moving, to kindle a fire in a fireplace or wood stove, to line the bottom of a bird cage. There is much that can be done with newspaper besides just reading it.

Answer 4

Put it in the freezer, and then when the the putty freezes than you should just be able to pull it off.
