Wall, then plastic, then cardboard. That way, the staples don't pull through the plastic. And the cardboard holds the plastic down a length, not just a spot.
#blink# Won't the staples do even more damage than tape? (Does it matter that the walls are plaster, not drywall?)
I can see how the cardboard works to improve the seal with staples or tacks, but I don't see why it's an improvement over tape, which gave me an airtight seal when I used it before. (Of course, there's the question of whether a paint-safe adhesive will pull loose before the end of the season...)
Because when you remove the staples, all you have is tiny holes at intervals to repair, not great swaths of paint missing like you would with tape.
And it's a lot cheaper than non-paint-ripping tape. And you can re-use tacks, and even the staples if you are careful. (Big staples, not three sheets of paper staples.)
