A tape mounting system for a foundation covering having an adhesion strip including a porous substrate material. The porous substrate material having a wall adhesion side and a covering adhesion side facing opposite the wall adhesion side. An instant bond adhesive portion is included on the wall adhesion side and carries a first instant bond adhesive. An adhesive absorbing portion is included on the wall adhesion side that receives and absorbs an adhesive bead applied to a foundation wall. A second instant bond adhesive is disposed on the covering adhesion side for engaging a foundation wall covering. The instant bond adhesive on the wall adhesion side secures the adhesion strip to the foundation wall until the adhesive bead is cured to carry the foundation wall covering so that an air and moisture tight seal is formed between the foundation wall, the adhesion strip, and the covering material.
