Title: separating 5-gallon buckets

      It seems that typically there is a bit of vacuum in the space between the

    two buckets.  These tricks of using water or compressed air blown down

    between the buckets breaks this vacuum enough to pull the buckets apart.

    You might try heating them up to get that air in between the buckets to

    expand.  Leaving them out in the sun on a warm day might be enough to get

    them together.  Or maybe pouring a pan of hot water over them would help get

    them apart.  It could be that a little water run down along the seam will

    act like a bit of lubricant to get them to slide a little easier.
