Create a Dust Catcher for Wall Cuts

What happens here

When preparing to cut or sand a section of a wall, use a hand masker to apply a piece of 9-inch masking paper with attached 1-inch tape horizontally across the wall, just below the work area. Ensure the tape adheres well to the wall. Then, bring the loose edge of the paper upwards at a slight angle and secure it with another piece of 1-inch tape, forming a pouch or basin to catch dust and debris as you work.
