Do you always need to use a drywall anchor?

• <div><p>You may not need to use a drywall anchor, depending on what you're hanging and where you're hanging it. If you can nail or screw into a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-find-stud-in-wall.htm">wooden stud</a>, the wood will provide enough support and stability in many cases. If you're hanging something very lightweight, you can use picture hanging strips to hold it in place. </p></div>

What is the best way to cut drywall?

• <div><p>The best way to make long, straight cuts is to use a utility knife and a T-square to score the sheet, snap along the score, and then finish the cut by cutting through the paper on the opposite side with the utility knife. If you’re making small cuts, curved cuts, or cutouts for electrical boxes or light fixtures, you can use a manual jab saw to keep costs down, but an electric spiral saw or oscillating multi-tool will get the cleanest, fastest cuts possible.</p></div>

Q: Is drywall safe to cut?

• <div><p>Drywall is safe to cut as long as you follow proper procedures, such as wearing personal protective equipment and using the right tools to score and cut the drywall. When cutting new drywall, it can release dust with silica and other compounds that could pose health risks. Leave cutting drywall to the pros, or wear a high-quality respiratory mask, goggles, and other PPE when handling drywall.</p></div>

Q: How do I choose the right size of wall anchors?

• <div><p>Choosing the right size of wall anchors is essential for a secure installation. The size of the wall anchors should match the size of the screws you plan to use. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for the specific wall anchors you purchase. Typically, the packaging of the wall anchors will indicate the appropriate screw size and diameter for a proper fit.</p></div>

Q: Should I sand between coats of drywall mud?

• <div><p>You should do a little bit of sanding between adding coats of mud. Knock down any ridges or significantly imperfect areas through sanding, which should help you apply the next coat of mud smoothly. If your first coat of mud is pretty smooth after it dries, a quick sanding is all you&rsquo;ll need. Don&rsquo;t forget to wipe away any dust after each sanding process.</p></div>
