Does anyone know of any tape that doesn't leave glue when you've used it to stick something on a metal surface, like a window frame?

We hang up our festive lights that way, but it's always such a biatch to clean up the glue residue of the tape afterward.

@n3wjack Gaffer tape is good one too indeed. Strong and easy to remove. They use it in audio and TV industry to hang, repair and mark their stuff.

Other option: Duct tape. Go for quality brands like 3M I'd say, cheap brands often suck IMHO. Lidl has good discounts on 3M stuff every now and then.

How long do the (Christmas?)lights need to stay up? Might make a difference which tape you can use for a longer period of time.

@JorisMunnik 2 months usually. Gaffer tape looks like the best option.

That nano tape is interesting though. I'll get some of that too. 😏
