If it is caused by wet, usually water then you need to completely submerge them in water to get them apart because this cancels the vaccum effect that binds them if put inside of one another while wet.

To add to the previous answer. Submerge the buckets three quarters of the way up the outside in hot water. Put hot water inside the top bucket. Air expands when it is heated and the buckets should pop apart easily after being warmed as the air trapped in the gaps between them expands.

The water should not be boiling as this may cause the plastic to warp.
