I recently painted my summerhouse, and used one inch wide masking tap on the glass. I have never had any problem removeing this in the house when using on skirting board to floor. But, I have just been outside to remove it, and I cannot get if off. I have used Mr. Muscle, vinegar and nail varnish remover.
What little bit I have managed to remove by piddling at it, I am left with adhesive, but that I can manage to remove with the nail varnish remover. It is the tape on the glass.
Help please, please.

OH suggests you score the tape (not right through to the glass) then use white spirit.
