if i open a 5 gallon bucket and then put the lid back on as tight as possible will it be air tight as long as there is no holes? how do i check and see if it's air tight

I don't think you get the lids at lowes or home depot. But look in the yellow pages under chemical supplies. Find a small time supplier. They stock five gallon buckets to break down big lots and into smaller lots for resell. They might sell or direct you to a bucket supplier.

No its not air tight anymore because you let air in when you opened the bucket.

NO
If you open it, and there is no internal seal, you have interrupted the integrity of the can and it is no longer air tight
