Took half day to scrap stubborn masking tape on window frame. fyi, my previous owner stick some mosquito netting on few window frame, so I got quite a lot of black ugly masking tape stuck on the silver window frame Surprising the tip on howto remove old/stubborn masking tape really work like a charm. The recipe Hair dryer + blank cd + alcohol solution (for this I bought googone from home-fix) So apply heat on the masking tape for about 10-20seconds, then start scraping using blank cd.
