Lets say I've got a window hole in my frame and the wall is completely covered in Tyvek house wrap. What's the best way to cut it so I can seal all four sides as well as the corners of the opening? I googled it, and all I could find was something about cutting and "inverted Y." If anyone knows, or knows a website, pictures would be great or just a vivid description. This stuffs too expensive to mess up with. Thanks.
