For the Gamma lids. At first I put the rims on like you did. Very difficult. Then I tried another way which was easier. Using a clock for reference think of the 12, 6, 9 and 3 o’clock positions. If you start at the 9 o’clock position and push it down then go to the 3 o’clock position directly across then the 12 o’clock position then 6 o’clock position. Go across from the position you start. Don’t start in one spot and try to go all the way around because the last little bit is going to be very difficult and you might damage the rim with the mallet. On the second two positions push them down at the same time. Works for me.
I just purchased some gamma lids and the first thing I noticed was that they are NOT seal proof. So, I emailed the company and told them that the machine was leaving too much 'glue" in the four parts when the machine 'glues' them together and that maybe the ones I received was a bad batch. After much back and forth, here is the gist of what they told me. I SAID: The sticker that comes with the lids says that they are AIRTIGHT. RESPONSE VERBATIM: It is but those are little 1/8” o-rings and are not the best for long term storage. They are meant to keep air and rain out of the container for short times. It is always best to use mylar bags or flat lids for long term storage. The gammas are designed for easy access to open and close. Well, said I, if they are NOT airtight as you say on your response, then they CANNOT be good to "keep air and rain out of the container" NOT even for short times. Oh, well. Too expensive to send it back. I'll have to keep in mind that they are NOT airtight as the company person said.
The main difference between food grade and the other is that you can put food directly into bucket without leaking any chemicals from plastic into food.
Thank you for this! I was having trouble figuring mine out. 👏🏼 I put my knee & pressed down hard to get mine on. I'm in the US in California. I got my bucket & lid at Lowe's for a decent price. 🙌🏼
good for you! wish I had the started earlier in life. buy land and a home that you can make self sufficient if possible. pay off all debt and save money!
I just got 10 buckets and lids for food storage, and i was wondering why it didn't fit, so i went to my best friend, Mr Google and your video came up.. thanks, i knew it had a reasonable explanation. Thanks again
I bought food grade buckets a Tractor Supply a few weeks ago. Buckets are $4.99, plain lids $2.69 and Gamma lids are $10.99 (as of Mar 17 2022). Lowes Home Improvement has a bucket wrench (removes lid) for $2.48. Harbour Freight rubber mallet is $2.99. I keep a rubber mallet in the kitchen and another one in my shop. Bucket wrench is well worth the few bucks that makes it so much easier to take off the snap on lids.
I love these lids! Thankfully I was able to get them on easily and love how convenient they are and how well they work. Honestly, I would have more if they didn't have such a high price tag.
When you are sure you have assembled your screw on lid pour a gallon of water in the bucket and turn it upside down on 2 of mine the water started leaking out. There were flaws in the lids do to mold injection seams whare the oring seats They can be sanded download a good seal.
You need to do it video on putting water in the bucket then put the two different lids on two different buckets turn them on their side and see if they leak. Have a Blessed Day.
Hammer sound warning!! Make sure to have your speakers turned down if you live in an apartment, and you don't want to annoy your neighbors when watching this vid at 2 in the morning.
I've fought these lids for a couple years. But I have a couple of comments or suggestions for you. The snap-on lid can be a drag to open, but you can buy a cheap tool that opens it really easy. Also, as I got older I found I didn't have the strength to put both styles of lids on and off. What I found out is that I can place the lids in place on the buckets, and then I stand on them, and they snap right on. To do the GAMMA lids I put the ring with lid on it, and stand on them as well. You can feel them snap solid. You may need to have a helper to aid in keeping you stabilized, but it works like a snap (pardon the pun), and you won't need to hammer it down.
Thank you! I'll try that! I'm 65 and evidently am not strong enough to get my rings on. I did stand on it but I didn't put the pieces together first. I'll try that. I hope it works.
Boy did you save me from returning these 25 lids I bought to split between me and my sister. They are really hard to put on with the instructions they came with so I decided to go and you tube and your comment was of much help. I stand on it with the lid in place and it just snapped right on. For anyone attempting this method please be careful though as the bucket could become unsteady. by the I used the Canadian tire food grade bucket. Thank you again.
Welshy I was put in Gamma Lids and a bunch of food grade buckets. I would beat the rings on with the side of my hammer head. Then one would not go on no matter how much I hit it. I took it the bathroom and used a hair dryer to warm it up and it went on easily. Try it on the next time you try to put a Gamma lid on a bucket. Joe
Hi. Thanks for the video. I'm wondering about gasket lids.? Thanks for your help. And once they're opened can they be closed air tight? Love your work.
I'd be worried in the winter the regular lids would Fail, Not so much with them Super Honkin' Screw Down Lids, Thanks Dave, Hoping All's Well Up Yonder, Friend ! ATB T God Bless
Do you think this setup is air tight? Ive always used the mylar bags inside a bucket but always wished there was a better way because you waste a lot of space. I giess an easy test would be to seal it with an O2 absorber and check it in a day or 2. Cheers
I wonder if the Rubber Gaskets should have a thin coating of something like bees wax or baby oil or Petroleum Jelly to keep the rubber soft and pliable... as the rubber will most likely over time , dry out , become brittle and not seal well . I also think it would help in making them even more air tight as a little something on the seal would alow it to set in better ??? Especially for someone looking at storing something for 20-30 years ..
Be careful. If the gasket is rubber, from what I understand, petroleum based lubricants can destroy it. If gasket is made from other materials, then the lubricant needs to be one compatible with that materials. Plant and animal based lubricants can also turn rancid over time. Further, I don't know that plastic buckets, if not stored in ideal circumstances will last 20-30 years. Depending on what's stored in the buckets, many things won't last that long either. The list is short of foods that have a 30 year life, IF properly stored. I don't know how long Mylar will last, if that's used with buckets. Plastic buckets are porous. How much depends on the plastic being used. Metal and glass may be better options if someone is trying to keep pinto beans for 30 years.
When I pound one side on it pops back up as soon as I try to do another part. Man these are hard. I’m not that strong so that’s why I bought them. The difficulty with the regular lids is too much for me. The gamma I thought would be a better/easier way for me. But man, I need a lumber Jack to get these on. Lol. Thanks for the info!! And Hello Neighbor 🙋🏻♀️MINNESOTA here 😊
Great video thank you! Once sealed with the gamma lid, how long is it good for in storage? Also, once opened in order to use, when you use the gamma lid, is it sealed every time for long storage? Are oxygen absorbing packages needed?
Shelf life depends on what your storing and if your using mylar bags in combination with the containers. Oxygen packs should only be used in mylar bags. Thanks for commenting and watching.
I keep products like rice, sugar, corn meal ect. Food I know has a long shelf life. We open the containers only to fill smaller ones we use on a daily basis. That way were not opening them up all the time allowing air in.
I'm still trying to get one adapter on with a rubber mallet for the gamma lid. My shoulder has a lot of problems. Hoping I can get this done. 5 more after I get this first one on, to go .
@@WELSBYROOTS I'm a little worried because 3/4 of it popped on nicely before I figured out I had a problem and came to look for a way to get the last bit on. If 3/4 of it is All the way on will I still be able to mallet the last 1/4 that is not down in the least little bit? That's all I have been working on is that last bit for 2 days and it hasn't seemed like it has budged at all. Thanks
@@WELSBYROOTS oops. My kids tried to help. One of us broke the adapter with the rubber mallet. I'm going to see if tractor supply will exchange it and see if we can find a happy medium of "not hard enough" to "breaking it". I guess teenage boys don't know their own strength. Never did get it on. But we also noticed the gasket on the screw part was broken and had some brown putty on it after we broke the adapter. Maybe it had been returned before. Thank you. Edited to say we got the rest of them on fine.
2:18 A food grade bucket should have a recycling triangle symbol on the bottom of the bucket with a # 1 or # 2. It won't allow as much oxygen transfer into the bucket. 3:30 Gamma Lids - easy to open & close
Bad advice! Place the adapter on the bucket to match the bucket rim. Use a 1"x6" or 1"x8" board long enough to cross the entire bucket adapter. Kneel on the board using your body weight to push the adapter cleat over the bucket cleat. Turn the board 90º & repeat, kneeling on the board & use your body weight to apply a downward force to the adapter. Beating on the adapter is a very poor solution. This solution works better because the problem does not look like a nail!
They leak. This video is incomplete. You never demonstrate how well it works. Fill it with water and turn it upside down. The mold marks (ridges) on the plastic lids cause them to leak. If they can't hold liquid they aren't airtight.
@@WELSBYROOTS Well, thanks. I buy a product with the hope it doesn't devolve into some nutty goose-chase. I've resigned myself to taking a hit so, that's that. Cheers!
You should have put in some water and turned the bucket upside down with the gamma lid on to demonstrate if it was truly water/air tight. Another video called "Preppers Beware" showed the mold seams of the lid (not the rim) were interfering with the lid gasket function and the water leaked out. NOT AIR TIGHT as the label claimed, You may have performed a disservice to your viewers and your own credibility.
