A rubber scoop type spatula is what I ended up using. It was too thick to pour and the 1 gallon pail is plastic and I am sure the 5 gallon pail is plastic too, so heating up the whole can on the stove isn't an option.Oh boy, 5 gallons, that's a lot of goo! As others have stated, warm it up first, and I'd look for a pump of some sort to pump it into a suitable container.

It worked fine. I just spooned it into the old 2 quart sauce pan I had lying around on my kitchen stove and then poured it into the gun pots from there. You could just ladle it in with a big spoon too if you just want to heat up a pot at a time. The 32oz pot on the Harbor Freight gun was at about 2-3 pots worth to do the whole truck.
It has the consistency of warm frosting at around 55F degrees ambient temp and something deep in my reptilian brain urged me to try tasting it, but the smarter part of my modern brain shut that idea down.
