Troubleshooting

Bucket feels uneven when carrying

Ensure the load is distributed evenly within the bucket. Adjust your grip on the double handles for a balanced carry.

Powder coating shows minor scratches

Minor scratches are normal wear and tear for powder-coated items. For cosmetic touch-ups, consider using a high-temperature black paint designed for metal. Ensure the surface is clean and dry before application.

Rust appears on the surface

This can occur if the powder coating is breached or if exposed to prolonged moisture. Clean the rusted area with a wire brush, then apply a rust inhibitor and touch up with black, high-temperature paint.
