I cut the drywall into squares of the desired size and then wrap the cut
edges with masking tape. The only mess is the initial one of cutting the
drywall. I generally do that outside or in the garage - ie. away from the
studio - and then just vacumn up the crumbs of drywall.

Subject: ??? on drywall for de-warping/drying tiles
The use of squares of drywall to dry tiles came up recently (using
sandwiches of green tiles between drywall chunks).
How do you keep pieces of gypsum, which have a way of flaking off cut
drywall, from getting into your clay and doing the old plaster-in-clay
damage? I'm not asking about the tiles themselves, but about general
studio housekeeping tips when using drywall.

tape.

Hi Dave:
Use "Red Green's " favourite--duc tape. Cover all the exposed edges of
drywall with duc tape to seal, this works great. Steve Smith (aka Red Green,
who lives here in Hamilton) would be proud of us to know we are using his
favourite tool in our own unique way.
good luck..............

Or wrap the whole thing in brown craft paper. Which has two advantages:
replacement when something happens and the tape(depending on humidity in
your area)gets dried out and loses it's "stick".

Haven't really had any trouble with it. When I do
workshops or classes, I tape the edges of the
students' drywall boards, but I seldom bother to
do it for my own.

Hi Dave,
I seal the edges of drywall with tape. The best so far has been wide black
electrical tape.
It stretches, conforms to the corners and has weathered studio abuse.
I get mine in the dollar stores....... very cheap!
Note.... I apply the tape before using the drywall. The tape sticks better
when there is no clay dust on it.
