How to Cut Hole to Repair Leaking CeilingMy name is Shannon Kniep, I am speaking on behalf of Expert Village. You are going to cut with a utility knife. You just got to get a lot of pressure on it and along the drawing line or the snap line you just want to move the straightest possible and get just about an 1/8 of an inch deep. That should be fine and then what I do is I'm gonna go back over it and re cut it again and again and again. So, you don't have to cut all the way through in the first time you just a little segment then you go little deeper and a little deeper. By the time you get all the way through it, cuts right through the piece and it falls out.

A utility knife is a handy tool, but for making long cuts in sheetrook I recently purchased a tool from cutzout.com that makes such cuts easier and safer. Cutzout makes a tool they call the Straitcutz. With the base that comes with the tool, it guides a spiral saw or rotary tool such as Dremel to make straight cuts in drywall. Since the tool keeps the saw base away from the sheetrock, you don't have to worry about causing more damage to a finished wall or ceiling. oldhandyman
