Getting very old adhesive off of glass

[kestrell]

While I am washing the curtains I thought I would take another whack at trying to remove the very old adhesive from the duct tape I use to keep my air conditioner hose in the window. Nail polishe remover has not worked, and neither has soap and warm water or household cleansers.

I've looked this up on various DIY sites and have come to the conclusion that due to some mysterious properties of the Aerye, this is not your average adhesive removal problem.

I have also concluded that waaaaay too many people will use any excuse to play with lighter fluid, and I'm pretty sure that most university nuclear reactors should have better security measures in place, too.

So, short of playing with lighter fluid and/or nuclear reactors, do folks have any suggestions for removing this stuff from the window?

Right, I'm prettys ure the adhesive has been throughly baked on, since it's not just a window which gets strong sunlight for the hottest part of the day, but the air conditioner exhaust hose raises the temperature even more. Still, one last try. Otherwise I just find some sort of black bats window decal and call it a day. Or night, as the case may be. Plus, I'm blind, so really, I can't even see the problem, but it bugs me knwoing it's there.
