The builder taped the vapour barrier to the window frames in my basement. Is this normal? I attempted to peal it off but the glue residue is stuck to the wood.
Any suggestions on how I can remove it? Is it possible to prime over the tape?

Your builder is an idiot. That is just plain lazy. Yep, Goo Gone, or maybe some mineral spirits. As a last resort if the aforementioned don't work, try acetone. Acetone dissolves most glues, but also can damage the finish. Test a small area first.
