Stuck Buckets: More Ways to Get Them Unstuck! No Compressor Needed!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 лип 2024
- 5-gallon buckets being stuck together were more of a universal problem than I realized. My first video showing how I get mine unstuck using an air compressor was very popular, but viewers had suggestions in case you don't own a compressor. This video is an exploration of many of those suggestions viewers gave -- all without using an air compressor!
Let me know in the comments if you have other ideas for getting buckets unstuck.

THANKS FOR WATCHING! - Навчання та стиль
Hair dryer and fingers: Make small crevice between buckets prying with fingers and thumbs of one hand and direct hot air of hair dryer down the gap. Keep maneuvering the gap around and eventually hot air pops them apart.
Hot water on bottom bucket, just did one in the laundry tub. The bottom one was in rough shape from previously being used for mixing thinset as well, worked like a charm
Help a lot
Thanks
I use ice in the top bucket for a short time. Which causes that top bucket to shrink. Could also use cold water
In the summer use a small amount of ice in the top bucket or old water.
When my compressor isn't handy, I hold/prop buckets against my truck exhaust and heat up outside bucket, use thumbs and fingers to separate, easiest way I've found.
My buddy made a special curved trowel. He uses it to unstick buckets.
That's an interesting solution, particularly if you don't have an extension cord/outlet available for a hair dryer or heat gun.
Physics. Cold air shrinks and hot air expands
I just hang a small rag over the side of the bottom bucket before I stack the next one.
That would probably work, though if you have a lot of buckets like i do you might run out of rags before you run out of buckets :)
lol no wd40 on site, but not sure I would want to use that depending on what I am using the buckets for , might leave the residue
