No. the paper is used because it is a wicking material and will pull moisture into and out of it. It is an air barrier. It will show signs if it gets wet and then dries.

It is very useful as a undercoating material in building because it wicks moisture to a broad area and allows dissipation without damage; it was often used as such over sheathing, subfloors and etc., and still is where appropriate. It is not inferior or a poor substitute for Tyvec or similar- it is a better application in many circumstances.

What tape do you use for red rosin paper application?

Rosin paper is commonly used to cover wooden floors to protect them from dust and debris during construction. Only blue painter's tape should be used when taping rosin paper down to cover a floor. Rosin paper should never be used on stairs because it creates a slipping hazard. Painter's tape is used on wooden floors because it has a weaker adhesive so that its removal will not mar the finish of the underlying wood. Because of the weak adhesive, painter's tape is unsuitable to attach rosin paper to steps. Under no circumstances should ordinary tape, such as clear Scotch tape, be used.
