5 gal buckets stuck together....

Awl --

I live by 5 gal buckets -- at any given time, I have between 25 and 60,
depending on how reliable neighbors are about returning them. :)

Hammering them apart, tho, is a real pita. Sometimes you *really* gotta
hammer!
How to keep them from sticking?

Thinking one or two sheetrock screws to just stop full insertion.
Thought of a line of epoxy on the outside to keep them from "sealing".

It's not, I don't believe, a vacuum problem, in which case a simple hole in
the bottom would suffice.

Any ingenious solutions out there?

Best I've seen is to drop a chunka' tubafor in the bottom so they
don't/can't bottom out...

Brilliant. I'd have never thought of that.

Make sure they are completely dry before stacking and store them under cover
so they don't get wet...Don't stack to many together either....HTH....
