How to Keep Plastic Buckets From Sticking
- 1). Put something about 2 inches tall in the bottom of the first bucket to raise the next bucket just high enough that it can not create a seal with the first bucket. Almost anything will do---a tennis ball, empty can or small box---whatever is handy and will not be compressed by the weight of several buckets sitting on top of it.
- 2). Continue adding something to the bottom of each bucket as you make your stacks.
- 3). Wrap a piece of newspaper or thin cardboard as a sleeve between buckets as an alternative way to prevent sticking.
- 4). Wrap and stack each subsequent bucket the same way until all are stacked.
- 5). Tape a wooden craft stick on the inside of each bucket; stack as normal.
