How do you take the sticky part of Duct Tape off a glass window?

I'm in college and on a late night we thought it woud just be a great idea to put the word howdy on my dorm room window in duct tape

I pulled all the letters off and the dy of howdy didn't come off like the other piece (the gray part ripped away from the sticky part which was stuck on the glass window)

schools almost over and i'm going to need to get this off or i'll be fined... this winter it like froze to the window but it's summer time.

any idea on how 2 get it off?

Answer 1

Windex and a razor blade.
Shoot some windex on the duct tape goo, then lay the razor blade on the so the it's almost flat and then just sort of peel the goo away!
That's it!

Answer 2

Use the following:
1. Goo-Gone, which is an orange-oil based solvent,
2. A razor blade scraper,
3. A roll of paper towels, and
4. Window cleaner

Using your fingers or a paper towel, dab on the Goo-Gone, and rub it in a bit into the duct tape adhesive. Then use the razor scraper and scrape off the goo. You will need to wipe the blade and the window frequently to remove the adhesive.

When you've scraped up all the adhesive, clean the windows with the window cleaner. You might need to do it more than once.

You can get the scraper and the Goo-Gone at any big box store or hardware store. I've included links to pics below so you'll know what you're looking for.

Use razor blade glass scraper (available in hardware stores for two or three bucks). Any residue left that's left (should be minimal) will come off with your nail polish remover.

Take some warm water, and just put it on a sponge-fingers-towel and rub against the stick till it peels of slowly.

WD-40

any adhesive remover at the store will work, goo-gone, or some nail polish remover.

Answer 9

Lighter fluid and elbow grease

Answer 10

A new razor blade will do it.
