Taking tape off the wall

GMRR · #1 Feb 6, 2007, 09:33 AM

I was trying to place a mirror on the wall of my hallway with some sort of special tape use for that kind of mirror. So it happens that the mirror fell and some of the tape is stuck on the wall. I just bought this place and I don't want to ruin the paint. How can I take that tape off without damaging the paint??

Thanks for any help you can provide.

try vinigar

if that dosn't work and soaking with dawn or other dish detergent and water dosn't work, bummer.

wd40 will work, but stains the wall.
repainting is the worst case, can youlive with that?
