The post on job site vacs prompted me to start this thread and ask this question. How do any of you deal with fine dust cloging your shop vac filters, especially plaster dust. I’ve tried a nylon stocking over the pleated filter and it helps to a point but is hardly a sure fix.
Vacuuming sucks,

After cleaning cloth filter or installing a paper filter I always vacuum up a coffee can or so full of sawdust if I know I will be vacuuming plaster or joint compound dust. It coats the filter and provides lots of additional surface area, seems to increase the life significantly.
