The bubble wrap trick ate my finish, but the video I followed blamed my technique

Last month I watched a guy online wrap his router bit in bubble wrap to catch dust on a plunge cut. He made it look so easy, like 2 minutes of setup. I tried it on a walnut shelf for a client in Austin, the bit grabbed the wrap and shredded it into these sticky chunks that melted into the grain. I spent 4 hours sanding that mess out and had to refinish the whole piece. I know dust control is a thing, but has anyone actually got that hack to work? Or is it just a trap for anyone who doesn't have a vacuum setup?
