My doctor sent me to a physical therapist who gave me fat foam tubes to
use on bucket handles AND brushes! I do use them on the brushes. I try
not to lift those glaze buckets much. If you have to life them, try
putting fat handles on them to ease your grip.

Lifting glaze buckets is really difficult for people with wrist and finger
problems. I was wondering if anybody has tried putting their buckets on those
rolling round platforms that are sold for plants....that seems like a decent
solution for the buckets, at least for getting them around the floor. I also
found very wide round plastic storage bins with tight fitting lids at the local
pet store used for storing pet food. They hold probably 5 gallons or more.
The fat foam tubes sound like pipe insulation.....
