I just use these expensive paper bags in my Fein to collect the big
stuff and their HEPA filter to keep anything escaping (plaster dust, for
example) from blowing through and have no problem with clogging. You
don't say what sort of filtration your vac has. Maybe that is the basis
of the problem.

How are you using the paper bag in a shop vac? I'm still using the
original paper filter that came with the vac.

I do have a dust collection system for my bigger tools but use the shop
vac for smaller hand tools and of course to clean the shop mess.
