Down on the Farm...
I've been getting 5 gal. buckets from the Donut Store. Only problem is the lids are gasketless and therefore no way to get a seal like you would with the gamma lids. These lids don't have the wide gap like gamma lids, just a thin straight opening. My husband looked at them and said he thought he could make seals for them from screen spline... BINGO! It works like a charm! He used the .125 size for the narrow gaps but you could experiment with other sizes to fit other lids. Don't remember seeing this posted before but if it has I guess you could delete this. My brain doesn't work like his... I was thinking of duct taping around the lids to seal but his way is MUCH EASIER!
