There are different types of Tyvek, it is produced in “hard” and “soft” structure types.

The ones used in this tutorials are the "soft” ones. These are lightly bonded products with an embossed pattern, providing a softer fabric-like flexible substrate with tear resistance.

DO TAKE NOTE that there are 2 sides to the Tyvek Paper!


  • Keep the 24cm side on top 25cm on the sides
  • Duct tape Horizontally on the rough side (waxed side)
  • You would want to try to get rid of all "air bubbles" and get it as smooth as possible =)
