Easy Gamma Seal Lid Application

Have you ever or do you currently find it difficult to fasten a Gamma Sealed Lid onto 5 gallon buckets? After a few disappointing examples found online, I came up with this way after studying the lid system. I hope it helps.

You are spot-on to flex the outer lip. Use a "bucket opener" to flex the lip open as you press down with your other hand. No pounding with a mallet needed. Also handy to have the opener to remover the ring if a bucket gets damaged. They can be found for less than $4 US.

I've never even heard of a gamma lid. So there's that.
Home depot should sell those with their buckets.

Some people do sell them already assembled. These are good for sealing food and material that you want to keep dry. We keep rice and flour in bins like these in a food storage, as well as in our pantry. I was surprised at how difficult they are to put together when they are sold separately. There were enough videos showing how to jump on them to seal them, that it implied that a number of people have trouble getting these together. When I got the first 2 together in just a few minutes, my wife recommended that I do this video. The other ways (like jumping on them) must have some people going to the hospital after the bins squeeze out from under them. I fear for those trying the "acrobatic" approach.
I do have some fun videos coming out. I have 3 started ... none finished. I hope to drop all these videos soon :) I can't wait to show everyone what I have been up to this summer.

@@badideametals actually, the method is similar to, how put a lid on a paint can.

[@badideametals]

It is pretty similar.
