There must be a simple "trick" that prevents them from sticking
so tightly that one has to bang and curse to pry them apart.

What "trick" do you use to keep your plastic buckets from
sticking together?


I bought a long roll of thin plastic tubing - the soft stuff used for
pond pumps. Drop a U-shaped length of the tubing into the bottom
bucket, leaving the long end of the roll of tubing hanging out. Stack
the next bucket, take the tubing and drape another U-shaped length
inside it. Repeat with each bucket. Instead of messing about with a
chunk of wood or styrofoam for each bucket in the stack, you just have
the single roll of tubing. Less aggro.
