When I did mine I rolled on the foundation tar coating and while still wet

One concern is the plastic may get brittle in a few years, no?
Whereas tar paper may not. Now granted, tar paper would not be water
"proof." It would just make it difficult to go through the wall and
encourage the water to go down to the perforated perimeter drain.
