Content: The first thing you will need to do when you cut drywall is to size the piece. A tape measure and utility knife are the tools for this. For a patch where you are fitting into a cut out you want to size the piece 1/8" to 1/4" smaller than the hole you are filling. Get your measurements for the piece first. If you want use that old carpenter rule, measure twice, cut once. To begin your cut you score the paper on the face side of the drywall. For a piece that is close to four feet wide you want to cut clear across the four foot dimension of the drywall. After you have done that you break the piece back and cut the paper on the back side. Repeat this step to size the piece the other way. Keeping cuts straight when using a utility knife to cut drywall can be challenging.
