QuestionI used double sided tape to put an antenna on my window and now I can't get it off. What can I do?Community AnswerUse one of those plastic holders for one-edged razor blades and scrape away as much as possible, keeping the blade at an angle so you don't scratch the glass. Then use isopropyl alcohol 91%, and a soft cloth, rubbing at the residue until it's gone. You can also use Vaseline instead of the alcohol. Use Windex to clean it up when you're finished.

QuestionI think some of the paint faded. What do I do?Community AnswerLet the spot dry first; many paints appear 1 to 2 shades lighter when wet. If the paint did fade, try touching it up using the same color paint and a paint roller or foam applicator. For delicate and detailed areas, use a small, pointy-tip paintbrush.
