does the tape leave sticky residue or peel of paint of the walls or the window frame?

Yeah it does. Its not awful but I have found if I spray a little windex on it and wipe it with paper towel the remaining residue comes off pretty easily.

no residue but it can peel the paint if it is older or if the window gets damp often.

It depends what kind of paint there is,if it is oil based paint witch is usually on the window frames it shouldn't come of ,if it is latex paint I wouldn't recommend sticking this tape to it,about residue I didn't have any from last year(I used on oil based paint)the whole thing came of in one piece.sorry if my English is not perfect,its not my first language.ps.if you going to spend money on this type of window insulation get frostking it's much better.

It's less sticky than packing tape so shouldn't be a problem, unless the paint is cracking and peeling already. There should be no adhesive residue on the window. If there is and you don't have something like GooGone, I've heard peanut butter works. But be careful of putting anything oily on matte finishes.

I believe you can remove the tape without doing any damage to the paint IF you have a good quality paint and IF the wall was properly cleaned before the paint was applied. Still, I'd use a hair dryer or heat gun(carefully) to remove the tape.

I use the tape to repair the plastic on my greenhouse so I have never removed it. The tape does not shrink so it does not leave a residue behind on my greenhouse walls, but I cannot say if there is a residue left behind when it is removed.

It does not leave a sticky residue--in fact, make sure your shelves are very clean before applying or the paper won't stay put for long. Overall, pretty happy with it, however. This is the shelf liner, not an adhesive contact paper (which must be what the other respondant was referring to)

I have removed years after putting it on and it still came right off. After alot of years it might leave a sticky residue but that comes off with any window cleaner and elbow grease.

It has double stick tape on it. As long as you clean the trim above the windows good, it stays real well.

Yes, I just cleaned the surface really well and then applied the tape. Once applied, I used a small wallpaper seem roller to press it down as I held a hair dryer to the tape.

It is heavier and a different texture. I have used regular tape and it doesn't work as well. I recommend this. Plus, it does not peel off paint once it's being removed. At least not for me.

I applied this tape to seal drafts from an old sliding window in a small bedroom. The window gets a few hours of direct sunlight. I have never detected any appreciable odor from the tape.

It's pretty sticky, I applied over a textured wall & it's not going anywhere :)

I haven't had a problem. If there has been any residue (adhesive) I use a clorox wipes or a wet paper towel.

No it doesn't leave any marks. Its fairly easy to peel off and it left no permanent marks after window was cleaned.

These are held in place with adhesive backed Velcro. As long as the paint on the wall and window frame is in good condition it will not harm it when pealed off.

It does leave a residue and it also damages the sticker but you can take some windex on a rag and it takes off the residue.

No it does not leave any stick residue. I spray it on and let it sit for a minute and then wipe it down with a clean cloth. It seems to work quite well

Yes, but only on really flat surfaces, like flat plastic, acrylic, sheets of metal (sheets of anything, really), the back LCD screens... But it won'd adhere to fabric or anything like that. haven't tested on glass. The things I stick with it, they remain stuck, as long as they are flat. I feel the tape lost some stickiness after being exposed to high humidity (the kind of humidity you get when you see morning dew on plants), but I shouldn't have exposed the tape to that. Just keep it in a fresh, dry place, it will last.
