I have drilled a small hole (1/8") in the center of the bottom of the bottom
bucket and used an air tip to blow them apart. It works quite well, though
the bucket doesn't hold water unless you repair the hole. Many bucket uses
do not require water tight.

The bigger issue is what to do to prevent it from happening again. One of
the bestfor me is to hang a rag over the rim of the bucket before stacking
in another. I would appreciate other ideas.

Is this an engineering problem or what?

Two of the buckets I use around the garden, etc. are stuck, one inside
the other. I and other neighbors, strong ones,
have tried like hell to separate them. Thumping, prying, banging, even
pouring water around the rim of the bottom one.
Nada. Niente. Nichts. Rien.

This has become a challenge.

What next? Baby powder? Or...?

A piece of vinyl plastic or rubber tubing between the buckets when you
nest them.
