It's a lid, it's supposed to cover what's in the bucket. Leave it alone, it seems to be working fine.

how is it legal to make exploding targets with ammonium nitrate?



I guess I've never really paid attention.   I don't know either.  



Isn't that what tannerite uses?  



Before I posted that, I did a search for Tannerite ingredients.  I couldn't find anything.    



Please do not search before posting, it's not the arfcom way

Bucket lid should have about 10-12 tabs on the bottom edge of the lid. Pop each tab out, and when they are all out lid should pry off pretty easily..........

Maybe the lid has left-handed threads.

evenly spaced (4-5inches) vertical cuts on the overhang lip of the lid should do the trick.

Go to Dunn Edwards paint store... assuming this is a five gallon bucket/pail, they should have a special tool for sale that will pry the lid right off.

I think its only a couple of bucks.

The bucket has been open for some time now. I would have updated earlier, but my internet was down for a while, then I was hosting a poker game at my house.

I knew I was in for some shit with this thread, but goddammit that bucket was hard to open! There is a bit of a 'trick' to it. It won't open by just pulling on the edge of the lid, you have to be pressing in the center of the lid at the same time. I learned this by calling the manufacturer.

I noticed the sticker before I put the lid on the first time. When I finally got it off, there it was taunting me with the instructions on how to remove the lid.

WTF did they put that sticker on the inside of the lid??

#1 I can't believe I am still up and reading this shit! and tend to agree with the above post, if  it took two days to open that bucket, you may not be qualified to use its contents. I hope your next post isn't any you guys tried to jerk off with a hook for a hand?

For the record, none of you guys knew how to open the bucket, or posted the correct answer anyway (except those who suggested the bucket opening tool, that would have worked). I assure you, if you didn't know to push down on the center with one hand while pulling up on the edge, you weren't getting anywhere with this thing.  

ETA: and even then it was still pretty fucking hard to get open.

Tannerite does NOT have ammonium nitrate, however you can pick up amonium nitrate at any local hardware store, it's called fertilizer, AKA AnFo, AKA Oklahoma City minus the diesel fuel.  Technically as long as you have binary components, that are not mixed together you are not in violation of any laws, if you do mix any together, you must use it where you mixed it, do not take mixed compound and throw it in your truck.  At that point you would be transporting a hazardous material, if you have a hazmat license, you'd be ok except for the issue of placarding the outside of the vehicle.  Stay safe, and have fun with low velocity explosives.

I read the Tannerite patent, and it DOES have ammonium nitrate.

Tannerite Patent

Notice that the oxider is 85% ammonium nitrate by weight.
