O.K., I got these 5-gallon plastic buckets from Dadants.
On the cover it says "cut at hole to remove cover" and there are these tab type things that have imprinted holes around the outside edge of the cover spaced about every 5-6 inches.
Cover will not currently go on at all as purchased. I assume somehow I have to make cuts around the outside of the bucket - maybe cut off these "tabs".
All other buckets I have bought have a strip around the outside that you tear off and then it will go on and off.
These tabs aren't really separated from the outer edge, they are just light markings in the plastic.
Even with my heavy duty wire clippers I can't readily cut into these tabs to cut them out so I can get the lid on my honey.
How in the heck are you supposed to make these covers fit on the bucket???
I could probably take a hack saw to the plastic, but I can't imagine that is the intended design.
HELP ?
