Anyone have a secret method for unsticking empty stacked salt buckets that somehow became sealed together?

I have another 2-stack that is not coming apart - used various tools etc... so what's the secret? Freezing? Heating? Cutting torch??? I'm hoping the solution is embarrassingly simple...

Going to go try to run hot water over the bottom bucket now.

Doh... of course that worked like a charm.

Embarrassingly simple.

I know what ya mean Alan, last year when I moved into my condo I had a six stack that wouldn't come apart, almost called in the fire dept, and would have if they had an all women's truck in town :mrgreen:

I found a gentle tap or twist with some hot water works everytime, but I guess you already know this now :razz:

I found that yelling and cursing at it, then giving it to my girlfriend to handle works best, it works every time. :mrgreen:
