Cut your drywall at a 45 degree angle to make it easier for
patching.

First time I saw that tip, it was a true forehead-smacker. (why
didn't I think of that before....)

When you replace the plug, it'll be a bit recessed due to the
width of the kerf. I prefer a square cut and to hot melt a couple
of wood strips across the opening. Then, set them firm with
drywall screws. This makes it easy to screw the removed plug back
in place.

They make metal clips to facilitate puttig in patch pieces. Do they
work?
