Tapes are a big problem for all painters and this as I discovered today in a magical way to get it out, you just use a piece of scotch tape and put your thumb on it and apply it here and then just drag it, just drag it it'll just roll it off like magic.

If some elements of the duck tape are still on your wall after scraping, here are some additional steps you can take:
- Use heat: Apply heat to the remaining tape residue using a hair dryer set to high heat. This should soften the glue and make it easier to remove.
- Use a solvent: Try using a solvent such as rubbing alcohol, vinegar, or Goo Gone to dissolve the glue. Apply the solvent to a cloth and gently rub the affected area.
- Scrape the residue: Once the glue has been softened, use a plastic scraper or putty knife to gently scrape away the remaining residue. Be sure to hold the scraper at a low angle to avoid damaging the wall.
- Clean the wall: After removing the residue, clean the area with a damp cloth to remove any remaining solvent or residue.
- Touch up the paint: If necessary, touch up the paint to match the surrounding wall.
