I remove the tool from the end of the shop-vac, place a hnadkerchief over the hose, poke a little pocket in the handkerchief, grasp the hose-end and handkerchief tightly and turn the shop-vac on and vaccuum up the spill. When done, hold the hose upright and turn the shop-vac off. Gather up the ends of the handkerchief and pull it outta the hose. I've picked up as much as 2-3 ounces this way. Take the handkerchief outside and dump the powder on the ground under the rosebush (watch out for thorns!).
