Handling Tears and Holes
During the course of installing the DuPont

to tape all tears. Tears can easily be covered with DuPont

Tyvek
®
Tape (2” or 3”) or
DuPont
™
Flashing Systems products.
Larger holes (greater than 1”) may require cutting a piece of DuPont
™
Tyvek
®
WRB to
cover the hole, maintaining proper shingling.
Cut a slit 2” above the hole and extending a minimum of 2” on each side of the hole.
Measure and cut a piece of DuPont
™
Tyvek
®
WRB to fit into the slit and cover the hole.
Tuck the cut piece of DuPont
™
Tyvek
®
WRB into the slit. Tape along the perimeter by
starting at the bottom of the patch, shingling upper tape over bottom tape.
