You just need to break the seal between the buckets to release the vacuum by: apply air pressure to the sealed space, or heat to expand the trapped air or brute force to pull the buckets apart or deform the side the lower bucket to break the vacuum lock. Like I said sit them in the sun !!! No tools no gimmicks nothing special. When I was running 4 sewer plants all the chemicals came in 5 gal buckets. in 15 years I figured I handled over 20,000 5 gal buckets. 1 per day times 365 times 15 times 4 plants.=21,900. That's not counting loading and unloading them from the back of the truck ! Last edited by jbyrd63; 04/15/21 07:55 AM.

Momma was working at walley world and bringing buckets home every night, and put them in the basement. I finally called her off, but a bunch sat there for several years. Was no getting them apart! Ended up throwing all of them away. The frosting set up like concrete! YOU CAN IGNORE REALITY, BUT YOU CANNOT IGNORE THE CONSEQUENCES OF IGNORING REALITY. http://www.lptraplinesupply.com

My experience is, more force distorts the buckets, and compounds the issue. Spread your fingers evenly around the lips of the bottom bucket, and slowly push up with your thumbs 180 degrees apart. I've gotten buckets apart like this that 2 grown men had been pulling on. X2

I used to get the buckets from the grocery store, they would just snap the lids back on and I would carry them out like that. that frosting is something else makes you re-thing eating many doughnuts after cleaning a bunch of those buckets that sat in the garage a year and it looks like the day you brought them home on the inside. of course I still eat a doughnut once in a while America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.
