</font><font color="blue" class="small">( the excavator operator told us that he had never seen anything that bad and claimed that using bar (as in chainsaw bar) oil to coat the bucket and dump truck bed was the only way to get the stuff to come out. He also claimed that it was biodegradable, if you can believe that.

Stihl makes a bar oil called Bioplus that is 100% biodegradable. I asked my chainsaw dealer about it once, and he told me that it was astronomically expensive. I didn't inquire any further, but my understanding is that it's a special-order only item at most Stihl dealers. You can see a picture of it in the new Stihl catalog though...
For coating a bucket though, I would try the cheapest grade of restaurant-type cooking oil first, before spending $$$ on bar oil.
If you used the spray-oils (Pam, etc.) you'd need like a million aerosol cans. Plain veg. cooking oil in a bottle is much cheaper.
