How to Catch Dust While Drilling Into a Wall<\/h2>\n

When you have decorated your room and it\u2019s time to put the room back, put up pictures, curtain rails\/poles you don\u2019t want to have brick dust all over your newly decorated room.<\/p>\n

To avoid the brick dust or plasterboard dust from falling down the wall whilst drilling here is a great tip!
\n<\/p>\n

Stage 1<\/h3>\n

\"Graphic
\nGet a small bag, such as a freezer bag or paper bag.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Stage 2<\/h3>\n

\"Graphic
\nGet a roll of masking tape or similar.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Stage 3<\/h3>\n

\"Graphic
\nTake a length of masking tape and fold it over one edge of the open end of the bag to stiffen the edge and prevent the bag from closing.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Stage 4<\/h3>\n

\"Graphic
\nTake another length of masking tape and stick it on the inside of the other open side (do not fold over and ensure the sticky side is facing outwards) allowing you to stick the open bag to the wall.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Stage 5<\/h3>\n

\"Graphic
\nTake the non folded taped side and stick it to the wall, just below where you will be drilling, open out the bag<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Stage 6<\/h3>\n

\"Graphic
\nDrill the wall and you will catch all the dust and grit in the bag!<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
