How do I fix a leaky bucket?
I bought some old galvanized buckets and one has a small pin leak about 25% up teh side. I can’t swap it for a slower flowing tree now they all are flowing.

I apologize in advance--I'm so sorry to do this to you, but I can't help it.

~How to fix a hole in the bucket? With a straw, dear Johnny, dear Johhny, dear Johnny, with a straw, Dear Johnny, Dear Johnny, a straw.
I should keep it on topic, and this advice is not from experience, but would a dot of caulk do it?

Dad boiled when I was a kid; I helped haul wood & sap, & taste test.
2011: 6 taps, full size hotel pan, turkey fryer: 3 gallons + 7 pints.
2012: 80 taps, 105K & 210K BTU propane burners, 2 double size hotel pans. Dad says he won't need to come help 'cause "there won't be anything to do if there's no wood to chuck in.": ~25 gallons.
2013: 55 taps, 28 gallons; same burners/pans as last year.

Don't do anything to it....either swap it or toss it....do not use any type of sealant except bubble gum haha....really though too many guys use stuff that just isn't good to be touching a food product.

I would try to solder it. Use an iron or heat gun. A torch would heat the galvanize too much.

How bout a sap sack inside and you wont loose the nostalgia.
Warm the bucket, then "solder" with household wax.
We use these bucket liners on several old buckets:
