1-take a piece of brown construction paper
2-hold it up against the wall that you are trying to sheath
3-mark the lenth and width of the piece using a yellow sharpie (yellow works best) creating a template.
4-use a circular saw with a water attachment

there you have it, there are other ways to approach cutting sheathing, but i have found this to be the fastest.. good luck

Call me old fashion, but wax paper is overkill if your already using yellow tape. Just my thought.

Good Luck
