My window frame outside my house has had masking tape around it for about 6 months. (had a massive fire ant problem, whole 'nother story!) I tried to remove it but it is REALLY stuck on there. And the actual paper is leaving the glue on the surface of the window frame. Any ideas?

pull off the paper part and then use a glass cleaner to loosen the adhesive. Then scrape with a straight edge razor blade or a paint scraper blade.
You could also try goo-gone, available at many stores. It takes off almost all adhesives.

You can remove the tape when you're done painting. You only put the tape there in the first place to avoid getting the paint on other places not intended. So, once you're done painting, you no longer need the tape there.

Go to your local home depot and get a bottle of lift off #'s 1,2 and 3... Apply the solution and let soak for 2-5mins. then with a sharp razor srape all the residue... It works. good luck

Goof off. Serious, thats the name of it. You can get it in most any hardware store, like ace.

you can soften the glue by heating it with a blow dryer.
then use a sharp putty knife to scrape it off.
works every time!
