Painters tape stuck under baseboards

4 years ago

Hi guys, my dad helped me paint my baseboards after putting in some new flooring (he is absolutely terrible at anything DIY-related btw, and not handy AT ALL, despite his thoughts otherwise) & he told me I needed to put that green frog tape/painters tape underneath my baseboards before painting them so that paint wouldn't get onto the new floors. I did that & painted them, however the result after the paint dried was that when I tried to remove the tape, parts of it got stuck in the small cracks underneath the baseboard, so the trim around my whole apartment is full of ugly and obvious leftover tape that I can't figure out how to get rid of. Any suggestions? Do I just need to use an exacto knife or something & try to cut/dig it away? Perhaps some oil to soften it & make it come out easier? I honestly have no clue... HELP!
