    I need to get some tape that is strong yet will not leave any residue when removed.

    Its to hold up some black out material on a upvc window. It will be in place for several months.

    Gaffa tape was used previously but has left black residue all around the white frame.

    Also, best product for removing the gaffa tape residue?

    (Not going to try dynamite! :p)

    @koolpc if you have a "What" shop nearby they do a sticky label remover that works very well on most of that type of adhesive and it is very cheap.

    3d blackout mask around you head works great and cheap.
    You can also make window plugs which is just sponge pushed in.
    Anyway not what you are asking.

    Sicky velcro roll. Just short bits around to make it easy to remove.
    To remove and glue use ctec multi solve or wd 40 however both will soften the silicone so spray on rag to wipe.

    Other way is do what we did in kids room. Spring loaded pole..

    WD40 to remove the residue.

    I don't think tape will hold. Duck tape maybe but you don't want that on frame. Make a mess.
    Two screws to block spring pole coming out. Fill holes after

    I concur with Astramax, WD40 to remove the residue and plenty of cleaning wipes/cloths.
